Who the Sanitas International Students plan is for

The checker above gives you an answer in about a minute. If you would rather read the criteria, they are set out here in full — and the same conditions decide what the price calculator will quote you.

Age14 to 35 at the date the policy starts. Under 14 sits outside this plan and needs a family arrangement. Over 35 is covered by a different Sanitas policy — see below.

Course length3 to 14 months, and renewable if you stay longer. A course under three months usually means a short-stay route rather than a student visa. Over 14 months, you either renew or move to a residents policy.

Proof of studiesA matriculation or enrolment certificate showing your course start and end dates. This is required to contract the policy — not optional, and not something that can follow later.

Identity documentA passport or NIE. A Spanish DNI is not valid for this plan.

One student per policyThe plan covers a single student. A partner or children each need their own arrangement, which is usually a residents policy rather than this one.

Where you will studyYour province sets your price — rates differ across Spain, and the Balearics are the highest. See how pricing works.

If you are 14 to 17

You can be insured on this plan, but an adult over 18 — a parent, legal guardian or grandparent — is the policyholder and signs the application. The health questions are answered about you, the student. How the application works explains the steps.

If you are over 35, or bringing family

The student plan stops at 35 and covers one person. Sanitas Residents and Residents Platinum cover both situations, and we review which fits before anything is issued.

If you are an EU, EEA or Swiss student

You do not need a student visa, so the visa-compliance conditions on this site do not apply to you in the same way. A European Health Insurance Card covers state healthcare during a temporary stay. Private cover is an optional upgrade — for a private network, shorter waits and English-speaking care — rather than something the visa requires of you.

Does qualifying mean my visa is approved?

No. Meeting the plan's eligibility criteria means you can take out the policy. The visa decision rests with the Spanish consulate or immigration authorities, based on your whole application. What the policy does is satisfy the insurance part of the file — see what consulates check and the certificate they ask for.
