Obtaining a SIP card in Torrevieja
Hi
I have had private healthcare insurance for the past few years in Spain. I now have my S1 (also TIE, Padron renewed on 7 July 2021 etc) but cannot get an appointment at the Oficina de Securidad Social in Torrevieja either by email or phone. I have been informed by various companies that they cannot get an appointment on my behalf without me having a digital signature. This I applied for and got early this year but was informed I would be sent a password in order for me to be able to use it, which I never received. I was also told that the office would not see anyone without obtaining an appointment online first.
My private insurance is due for renewal mid September which I cannot really afford so need a SIP card before then. Does anyone know of a way around this? Or does anyone know of a company I can pay that are able to deal with this for me? I am aware that in order to obtain a SIP card your Padron needs to have been renewed no longer than 3 months prior (even though the Padron office informed me that the Padron lasts for 3 years!) It took me long enough to get an appointment to renew the Padron! I am afraid of my Padron running out again before I can obtain a SIP card 😬
Many thanks in advance for your help
