Study Abroad Insurance for Students in Spain
Spain requires €30,000 in health insurance for the student visa. 30,000 US students study in Spain each year — get Schengen-compliant coverage from $30/month.
Spanish student visas require proof of health insurance with minimum €30,000 medical coverage covering the full Schengen area. US universities also require their own minimum coverage levels for semester abroad students.
Healthcare in Spain for US Students
Spain has an excellent public healthcare system (Sistema Nacional de Salud). Emergency care is free for anyone. However, the public system is Spanish-language only, and wait times for non-emergency care can be several weeks. Private hospitals in Madrid and Barcelona are faster but require upfront payment.
Your US health plan provides no meaningful coverage in Spain. Spain is a Schengen country — any US student on a student visa is required to show travel insurance with €30,000 minimum coverage when applying for the Spanish long-stay visa (Visado de Estudios).
