We’ve heard from many prospective homeowners who want to move to Spain but are anxious about navigating a new healthcare system.

It’s a concern we know all too well from our own family’s move.

You might have concerns about how the healthcare system works?

What if you don’t speak Spanish? How do you choose between public and private care?

In this episode of The Costa Property Podcast, we tackle everything you need to know about the Spanish healthcare system, from navigating public and private options to understanding which coverage you’ll need as an expat.

We are joined by our expert guest Irina of Malaga Expat Consulting, an experienced relocation consultant with over 15 years in Spain.

Irina explains the unique differences between public and private healthcare in Spain, the essential steps for setting up health insurance as a foreigner including insider tips on key documents like the S1 form and common challenges newcomers face.

What You’ll Learn:

  • How to Register for Healthcare in Spain: Step by step
  • Public vs. Private Healthcare in Spain: Pros and Cons
  • What to Do in a Medical Emergency in Spain
  • What If I Don’t Speak Spanish? Private vs. Public Healthcare Systems
  • Health Insurance for Non-EU Citizens: Must-know coverage info for UK, US, and non-EU expats.
