We like to keep our clients new and old up to date on matters relating to Spain. A tip and useful source of information is to visit Healthcare for UK nationals living in Spain – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
The following is a short piece on healthcare
All residents in Spain need to register to access healthcare.
Once registered for healthcare, basic state services are free, but there are some things that patients need to pay for. For example, you usually have to pay something towards prescriptions – either a reduced price or the full price.
UK nationals usually access the Spanish national health system in one of these ways:
- through entitlement to healthcare if they’re employed or self-employed in Spain
- paying directly into the public health insurance scheme (Convenio Especial)
- registering a UK-issued S1 form with the social security office
- using a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) or Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) for temporary stays
- through entitlement to healthcare as a permanent resident if they’ve lived in Spain for 5 years
