    FAQ — Travel Insurance for Expats in Spain

    1.Do I need travel insurance if I live in Spain?

    Yes — your Spanish plan may not cover you abroad; travel insurance fills that gap.

    If you are applying for a short-stay Schengen visa, requirements are different. In those cases, repatriation coverage is usually mandatory as part of visa insurance, rather than standard expat travel insurance. You can find the full explanation in our Repatriation Insurance for the Schengen Visa guide.

    2.Is travel insurance the same as health insurance?

    No — travel insurance is for trips; health insurance in Spain is for domestic healthcare access.

    3.Can I include my family?

    Yes — we offer family travel plans.

    4.Does travel insurance cover COVID-19?

    Coverage depends on the plan; we explain it clearly before you buy.

    5.Can I get coverage before travelling?

    Yes — coverage can start immediately after purchase.

    Travel with confidence — wherever you go.
