A waiting period is a period after the policy starts during which certain services may not be fully available. Some Spanish visa applications request health insurance without waiting periods, or with wording confirming immediate cover where required. If your checklist mentions waiting periods, request options and certificate wording before buying.
For a Spanish visa, a policy with waiting periods may be questioned where the application asks for immediate cover. "No waiting periods" means cover applies from the start date without an initial limited period. It's worth knowing that a waiting period is not the same as a pre-existing condition term: a waiting period applies to certain services after the policy starts, while pre-existing condition terms relate to conditions you already have. See the main no-waiting-period health insurance page and visa insurance requirements.
Some NLV applications request no waiting periods; check your specific instructions for the DNV and Student Visa too. Families should make sure every applicant who needs cover has no-waiting-period wording where required. If your policy has some waiting periods and the application needs immediate cover, you may need a policy or wording confirming immediate cover — send the certificate and we'll check it. Often this comes up alongside no-copay wording.
