Does this insurance work for applying for the visa?
Yes, of course. We have created a unique medical insurance for students and their family members that includes all the necessary requirements you will be asked for in order to get your visa approved and come to Spain. We will provide you with all the required documentation so you can present it at your consulate.
The moment you complete the payment, you will receive an email with your medical insurance certificate and the general terms of the policy.
Afterwards, once all the information has been validated, we will send you the specific terms of your medical insurance.
Is there any age limit to purchase it?
No, you can request your medical insurance at any age. We love that you want to come to Spain to study, so come whenever you like.
There is only one limit for people over 50 years old — if that’s your case, write to us and we will help you.
What is the cancellation policy for the policy if the visa is denied?
We are the only medical insurance that offers this cancellation guarantee. We know how important it is for you, so if your visa is denied for any reason and you cannot travel to Spain due to the visa refusal, we will refund the full amount of your medical insurance premiums.
It is important to request this process before your medical insurance coverage begins.

What documentation do I need to take out the insurance?
Very simple — we only need you to attach your passport or NIE, and a certificate of enrollment showing that you will be studying in Spain. We take care of everything else.
Why choose our medical insurance?
We offer medical insurance with ASISA, a leading company in Spain, with full coverage for everything you need regarding your health and well‑being. Of course, you will receive all the documentation quickly and easily for your visa application.
Is there a medical questionnaire for the family members’ insurance?
Yes, right after you complete your purchase, you will receive a form that you must fill in with your medical information. Don’t worry — it’s just a simple health questionnaire that you need to complete so we can review and validate it.
What insurance is required to obtain a visa for students traveling to study in Spain?
For visa applications for study stays, student mobility, non‑work internships, or volunteer services, the applicant must have public or private health insurance contracted with an insurance company authorized to operate in Spain.
This insurance must meet several criteria to be considered valid:
- It must be health insurance (not travel insurance).
- It must cover all risks normally covered for Spanish nationals (the full catalogue of benefits of the National Health System, as regulated in Articles 7 and following of Law 16/2003, of May 28, on cohesion and quality of the National Health System). This coverage must remain active for the entire duration of the authorization.
- The medical insurance must have no waiting periods, no copayments, and no coverage limits — meaning it must cover 100% of medical, hospital, and outpatient expenses. Spanish companies such as ASISA offer 100% unlimited coverage with the STUDENTS INSURANCE policy.
On what date should the health insurance begin?
The health insurance for international students in Spain must start on the first day of arrival in the country and provide continuous coverage throughout the entire stay.
For visa purposes, the requirements are strict:
Start date: It must cover you from the planned date of entry into Spain.
Duration: It must remain valid for the entire study period (stay authorization).
Practical recommendation: It is best to purchase it before applying for the visa, since the policy certificate is an essential document at the consulate.
Recent change (2025/2026): Some consulates are requiring coverage to begin one month before the academic program start date and end 15 days after its completion.
What is the maximum age to purchase the insurance for students coming to Spain?
The maximum age to purchase the insurance is 64 years old.
What is the duration of the insurance
The duration of the insurance must cover the entire period of your stay in Spain, matching the full length of your academic program.
Can the student’s partner or children purchase this insurance?
For the student’s relatives we offer a specific product, Health Insurance for Student Family Members, which also meets all the requirements needed to obtain the visa.
How to safely purchase international student health insurance?
By purchasing the student health insurance through https://studentsinsurance.es, you are contracting directly with ASISA, which eliminates intermediaries and reduces risks.
