Private Health Insurance
If you are applying for Spanish residency, a Non-Lucrative Visa, a Digital Nomad Visa, or many other immigration routes, comprehensive private health insurance is not optional — it is a mandatory requirement. The policy must meet specific immigration criteria, including full healthcare coverage in Spain without co-payments in many cases.
As an authorised Sanitas agent, Malaga Expat helps individuals, couples and families arrange compliant private health insurance quickly and easily. I can guide you through the available options, explain the differences between plans and help ensure you obtain the right cover for your specific visa or residency application, or as a complementary product to your Spanish public health cover.
Why I Recommend Sanitas
Having worked with many major private health insurers in Spain, I have found that Sanitas consistently stands out for the breadth and quality of its healthcare ecosystem, particularly for expatriates seeking premium medical care, English-language support, and innovative digital health services.
Sanitas offers access to one of Spain’s largest medical networks, with more than 58,000 specialists, over 4,500 medical centres and its own hospitals and healthcare facilities, providing excellent nationwide coverage and access to advanced medical technology.
A major advantage is Blua, Sanitas’ market-leading digital healthcare platform. Through the Mi Sanitas app, policyholders can access 24/7 video consultations, same-day specialist appointments, digital prescriptions, online physiotherapy, mental wellbeing and health programmes, remote monitoring and a wide range of preventive health services. No other insurer in Spain offers such a comprehensive digital healthcare ecosystem.
Sanitas is also a leader in preventive and personalised healthcare, including innovative genomic and health-monitoring services that reflect its commitment to the future of medicine and continuous investment in the state-of-the-art medical technology.
For expatriates, another key benefit is the extensive availability of English-speaking support and medical professionals, as well as English-language documentation and digital services.
As part of the Bupa Group, Sanitas has built an outstanding reputation for quality healthcare, innovation and customer service, making it one of the most popular choices among international residents in Spain.
