Health insurance
European Incoming students need to come with the European Health Insurance Card, which is issued free of charge in their home countries. This card allows anyone who is insured by or covered by a statutory social security scheme of the EEA countries and Switzerland to receive medical treatment in Spain for free or at a reduced cost, if that treatment becomes necessary during their visit (for example, due to illness or an accident), or if they have a chronic pre-existing condition which requires care. The terms of validity of the card vary according to the issuing country.
Otherwise, incoming students are expected to arrange their own health insurance covering common illness and accidents while living in Spain.
We strongly recommend our international students to make sure they are well informed about the details of their insurance coverage before travelling.
