Health Insurance for Non-Lucrative Visa Cost

The requirements are so restrictive that they appear to be aimed at putting the non-lucrative Visa out of reach. And that may be precisely their intent.
There is medical insurance for Ex-Pats and that is what I would suggest researching on boards for Ex-Pats.

That pretty much describes exactly what I was required to have and do have in Hungary (except I didnt have to pay a year in advance). Mine is an Allianz Expat Policy; but there are others to choose from. No idea of the cost in Spain, but reasonable in Hungary. I will add that they have paid 100% of everything I have needed here for two years now. Regualar checkups (3 doctors x 4 times a year - i am an old fart with "issues"), a few outpatient procedures; one involving a knife, specialists, EKG's ... everything. No deductable no co-pays. They also pay direct to a lot of hospitals/clinics so you just walk in a flash a card and its all free.

By the way, several Expats on this "board"

Check out Adeslas.com and Sanitas.es -two of the major insurers. As a guide, for a resident that age it'd run around 1800€ on average.

IF Enric is saying 1800 euro a year, that's fantastic. Mine is quite a bit more expensive, but i purchased more than the minimum required. I also kept my Medicare and evacuation insurance for the big problems. But my only remaining US expenses are

• Storage room for my US life
• US private mail box with scanning and forwarding services
• US cell phone (i have a local too, but real advantages to a US phone)
• Medicare
• Oh, and a US Address, other than a post office box. My credit card companies required it (BoA and ML), and ML also had other limitations that needed to be addressed.
