For those who have just arrived in Spain or are preparing to renew their residency, buying health insurance has probably been a bit of a headache, right? With so many insurance companies and plans out there—not to be confused with the public [Tarjeta Sanitaria]—searching for their official websites one by one can be a real hassle. I’ve just finished my renewal for this year and have compiled the official websites of several major insurance companies to share with those in need. Hopefully, this can save you some time.
Official Websites of Major Insurance Companies
These are generally the most popular choices when applying for residency, as their insurance products usually meet the requirements of the immigration office. Before purchasing, make sure to confirm with an insurance agent or the company’s customer service that the plan you choose is 100% valid for residency applications.
Direct Links to Major Companies
I’ve organized them into a table, so you can click on the names to go directly to their official websites. Some sites may be in Spanish initially, but you can usually find an English language option in the top-right corner or the footer.
| Insurance Company | Official Website |
|---|
| Adeslas | https://www.adeslas.es/ |
| Sanitas | https://www.sanitas.es/ |
| Asisa | https://www.asisa.es/ |
| DKV | https://dkv.es/ |
| Mapfre | https://www.mapfre.es/ |
A Few Tips
- Compare Prices: For the same type of coverage, [Spanish health insurance prices] can vary significantly between companies. It’s a good idea to spend some time using the calculators on their websites to estimate your premium.
- Agent vs. Official Website: Sometimes, buying through an agent can get you a discount or a small perk, and communication about [Spanish health insurance] might be easier. However, buying directly from the official website is transparent and the process is quick. It really comes down to personal preference, but remember the official site is the most authoritative source of information.
- Check the Coverage: Besides meeting the basic requirements for residency, check what the policy actually covers. See if services like dental or psychological care are included or require an add-on. Don’t buy a plan just for the paperwork and then find out you can’t use it when you actually need it—that would be a
huge waste.
That’s about it. I hope this post is helpful! If you know of any other reliable insurance companies, feel free to add them in the comments below. Let’s share information and make life in Spain a little smoother for everyone!
