A  few  queries  about  Health  care in  Spain,   I   am  still   contemplating   moving to  Spain,  But  like  to  have   all  my  answers  and not  go  looking  for them,

I  will  be  64  when  I  move to Spain,  got a few health issues,  and   then  to look after  myself,  frequent  check  ups, and  visit  Doctors  when  need  arises, no  second  guessing 

I  will  coming  from  Republic of Ireland   so classed as  EU citizen,  I   am  use  to  paying  for  medicine  and Doctors  visit  that's  the  normal  way  over here.

My  concern  are  if  in  unfortunately  circumstances,   i   need  in  Hospital  care with  existing  medical  problems  or  hopefully   not  but  other  medical  problems  that my  occurs.  What  way  does  Medical  care  operate as  in  patients,  I  will  bring  6 months  travel  insurance,  as  will  be  renting  before  I   purchase   as  it  the  number  1  bit  of  advice   that everyone   hands  out, as  i  find  this  forum  very  helpful

Hi Sligogent

Even though you are “classed as an EU citizen”, you are only legally allowed to be in Spain for 90 days, unless you apply for residency.

I would be mindful that any travel insurance, should you stay beyond what is legally allowed, would become null and void 🤪🥂
