You’ve picked your course and city for your #StudyAbroad time in Spain - congrats! However, before you get packing your bags, there are some important decisions to be made - such as which medical insurance to choose. Now a governmental requirement in Spain means that the medical insurance policy you go for must include a minimum coverage of €30,000 (which would include evacuation and repatriation costs). However if you’re going to be in Spain for less than 90 days (3 months), you can opt for a more basic travel insurance plan.
Picking a good International Student Insurance is especially crucial if you have any pre-existing health conditions - so bear that in mind. The insurance will cover medical expenses, hospitalization and emergency care plus it could cover dental care too. On average, international student insurance in Spain can cost between €300 and €600 per year. It is important to shop around and compare insurance plans to find the best coverage for your needs.
