Academic documents

Health Insurance

If you are living in a non-EU country, you will need to purchase a private health insurance policy with no co-payment to validate your student visa. It may be that there is a health agreement between your country and Spain; in such a situation, you would be granted access to medical services in a similar way to a Spanish resident. However, it is important to note that this agreement will only cover essential medical care and will only pay for emergency situations.

If you are a resident of the European Union, you will need to be in possession of a European Health Insurance Card valid for at least the duration of your stay in the UAX.

Madrid's location is privileged, being at a short distance from a large, high-altitude mountain range. The city receives fresh air from these mountain ranges, some of which have ski resorts open during the winter.

It is also characterised by an intense cultural and artistic activity, as well as a very active nightlife, where pubs, cafés, theatres and discotheques are open late into the night.
