Healthcare Options
Hi, We are in the process of Moving to Spain, we have rented a Villa for a year and are in the process of applying for Residencia. We are undecided as to which way we will get our Healthcare for the purpose of Residencia. We have been told that we must get an S1 form, but this will mean that we will lose our NHS Benefits in the UK, and we wish to spend a few Months of our first year in Spain in the UK. This is due to Family Reasons and the fact that my Wife is in the process of having two new Knees, and she really wants to have the Operations in the UK. Would it be possible for us to apply for our Residencia using Private Health Insurance in the first case and then after the first year apply for the S1 for our Health Care after that ? My Wife is a UK Pensioner but I am not until October 2020, but I understand that I can be included on her S1 as a Dependant ? Regards..... Chris
