La plupart des visas pour nomades numériques font de l'assurance santé une condition d'approbation — et le DNV de Spain ne fait pas exception. Voici exactement ce qui est exigé, les formules qui répondent vraisemblablement à l'exigence et ce qu'il faut vérifier avant de souscrire.
L'exigence
- Assurance
- Obligatoire (explicite)
- Couverture minimale
- Non précisé
- Exigée pour
- Toute la durée du visa
Health insurance is required under art. 62.3.e Ley 14/2013 ('seguro público o privado de enfermedad'), as implemented by section Quinta of the joint Instruction: a public or private sickness insurance policy contracted with an insurer authorized to operate in Spain, which must remain active for the entire validity period of the authorization. Travel insurance is expressly not valid. Per the UGE requirements PDF and FAQ, if you are covered by an international social-security coordination instrument that includes healthcare, a certificate of entitlement from your home institution suffices; otherwise you need public insurance (via Spanish Social Security registration) or a private sickness policy with coverage equivalent to the National Health System (SNS). These documents are not needed when the teleworker will register with Spanish Social Security after approval, which is mandatory for most applicants. Explicitly not accepted: travel insurance, reimbursement-only policies, and policies with copays or waiting periods. For the consular route, the Washington consulate requires the insurer to be registered with Spain's Dirección General de Seguros y Fondos de Pensiones (DGSFP) and the policy to cover all risks insured by Spain's public health system for the entire duration of the authorization, with no deficiency, copayment or coverage limit. There is no monetary minimum coverage figure: the standard is SNS-equivalent coverage with no coverage limit, which is why no euro minimum is shown here. In the accepted types listed above, 'international health' means a full private health policy from a Spain-authorized (DGSFP-registered) insurer, and 'public enrollment' means Spanish Social Security affiliation or an S1/coordination certificate.
Formules répondant à l'exigence
Classées par adéquation à l'exigence, puis par prix. Le statut d'éligibilité est indiqué pour chaque formule — vérifiez toujours que le certificat de la police correspond à la formulation du consulat avant de déposer votre demande.
Foyer Global Health S.A. (Foyer Group, Luxembourg) · International health insurance
Full international private health insurance from an EU (Luxembourg) insurer with unlimited overall coverage and no annual cap on all plans plus a zero-deductible option and 12-month renewable contracts, matching the 'SNS-equivalent, no coverage limit' standard; however, DGSFP authorization in Spain and absence of waiting periods are not confirmed in the researched facts, and benefit sub-limits (psychiatric, maternity, dental) may be scrutinized against the 'no deficiency' rule.
- No overall annual or lifetime limit on core medical cover in all three plans; unlimited inpatient benefits confirmed on the official plan comparison
- Insurer FAQ explicitly confirms cover in the home country as well as the country of expatriation; worldwide or worldwide-ex-USA regions
- Luxembourg-regulated insurer (Foyer Group); 24/7 medical assistance, evacuation, teleconsultation and second medical opinion included in all plans

Needs verificationCigna Healthcare (Cigna Global Insurance Company Limited) · International health insurance
International full health insurance whose Platinum tier is 'paid in full' with no annual overall maximum and no enrollment age limit, plausibly meeting the 'no coverage limit / SNS-equivalent' standard; but Silver/Gold carry annual caps, routine outpatient care requires the optional International Outpatient module to reach SNS-equivalence, and DGSFP registration of the issuing entity plus a zero-copay/zero-deductible configuration are not confirmed in the researched facts.
- Three core tiers with annual maximums of $1M/€800k (Silver), $2M/€1.6M (Gold) and paid-in-full with no overall cap (Platinum)
- No upper enrollment age (18+); insurer states it does not terminate policies based on age
- Modular design: outpatient, evacuation & crisis assistance, health & wellbeing, vision & dental can be added; deductibles ($0-$10,000) and cost shares (0-30%) reduce the premium

Ce qu'il faut vérifier avant de souscrire

- 🚑Les soins d'urgence, l'hospitalisation et le rapatriement médical sont tous inclus.
- 📅La police couvre tout le séjour pour lequel vous postulez — beaucoup d'assurances voyage plafonnent la durée du séjour.

- 🤝Elle s'accorde avec le fonctionnement des soins sur place — voir la page système de santé.
