Hello lovely people.

My husband and I now both have residency.

We are both retired and have S1 forms. How easy is it to register our S1 forms (if that’s the correct terminology) at the social security office in Torrevieja. Also does anyone know the practice name and full address of the GP that is past the school in Guardamar - Dr Martinez (as that’s where we want to register). How easy is that to do also?

TIA

When you join the public health service you will be allocated to a doctor at your local Salud, it's not for you to pick or choose someone else.

Unless you are fluent in Spanish you will need to employ a gestor to guide you through the traumas of Spanish red tape at the Social Security offices.

Use a gestor  to register your S1 form. Cost is about 30 € and saves either doing it your self online and having to scan and upload your documents. Trying to get  an appointment with INSS in Torrevieja  is nigh on impossible I think most of the gestors seem to have given up doing that way nowadays. 

Once your S1 has been approved you will get a copy of the approval to take to Guardamar Salud to get your SIP card. 

As stated you don’t get a choice and will  automatically be assigned to the satellite surgery at the Campo. You could always ask for the form to transfer , when you pick up your card, but again you can’t nominate a doctor.
