Spanish consulates may ask for proof of health insurance as part of a visa application. The exact wording and documents requested can vary by visa route, consulate and applicant circumstances. If you have a consulate checklist, upload it before buying so the certificate and payment proof requirements can be checked. See also proof of health insurance for a Spanish visa.
Consulate applications commonly expect a certificate showing the applicant, insurer, cover period and healthcare cover in Spain, sometimes alongside the policy document and proof of payment. Depending on the route, the certificate may also need no-copay wording, no-waiting-period wording or repatriation wording. For a checklist of what to gather, see documents needed.
This applies to NLV, DNV and Student Visa consulate applications, and each family applicant or dependant may need their own documents. If the consulate questions your cover, see what to do if the consulate asks for better insurance, and if your appointment is close, get urgent help.
