Hello From Pembrokeshire

Hello From Pembrokeshire

Postby Sean B » Mon Sep 06, 2021 7:48 am

Hello everyone, my name is Sean and I live with my partner Tony here in Pembrokeshire. We have both been discussing moving to Spain for some time now but we were both unsure how the health care system works there. Up until yesterday I thought that you would not be covered, but then I saw a video of a doctor who works in Spain and he advised that Health care is free?
Thankfully we are both healthy and both retired, but it doesn't stop you thinking, What if something Happens to me when I am living there.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Sean B

If you are on a State pension from UK then you apply for an S1 and register it at the correct office in Spain then you will be placed on the health centre near where you live and receive a SIP card , all your health care will then be free but depending on your income you may have to contribute to prescription cost but with a top limit as to how much

That is correct unless you go self employed and pay into the social security
