Health Insurance
Posted: Fri Mar 15, 2019 9:08 am
Good Morning All
I have recently returned home after a pleasant visit to La Mata and surrounding areas
the forum has been very helpful in helping me get a lot of great information to help with hopefully a move to the area over the coming 6-12 months.
as I am below retirement age and looking for early retirement to the sun, the main stumbling block that I have came against is private medical insurance ! I have received a few quotes and they vary considerably from affordable and non affordable, my question is that all the information that I can get suggests I only require Medical Health cover for the 1st year to run in conjunction with my 1st year residence visa ?
does this suggest that after the first year I would then qualify for the Spanish health care system ? or would I require to continue with private medical care until I reach retirement age ? this would require 6-7 years of cover ?
I understand general elections are due next month and subject to the outcome I know things may change, but I would welcome any guidance or comments that could help me clarify this part of the process
Thanks
