How long does the certificate take?

Usually 2–7 working days from your quote. Fill in the form early so the certificate is ready before your visa appointment.

Policies start on the 1st of a month. Pick the month before your visa appointment, or the one you arrive in Spain.

Are there waiting periods or copayments?

No. Gidea's plans have no copayments, and you can see specialists and use hospitals from your first day.

Is dental included?

Yes: dental care and extractions are covered, with a yearly cleaning.

Do I need a Spanish bank account?

No. Most visa applications need a year paid upfront, which you can do without one.
