Health Insurance for Expats in Alicante: Your Local English-Speaking Partner
Secure your Spanish Residency and your health with Sanitas Alicante
Moving to the Costa Blanca is a dream come true. Whether you are retiring in Jávea, working remotely from Alicante city, or enjoying the vibrant life of Benidorm, you are here to Thrive.
At Sanitas Alicante, we believe that your health insurance should be an enabler of this new lifestyle, not a bureaucratic burden. While Sanitas is Spain's leading healthcare provider, dealing with national call centers can sometimes be frustrating due to language barriers.
That is why our local agency exists. We bridge the gap. We provide the robust coverage of Sanitas with the personalized, English-speaking service of a local friend.
Why Expats in Alicante Choose Us
We are not just a website; we are a physical team based in Alicante with over 20 years of experience helping international residents.
1. 100% Visa & Residency Compliant
The most common anxiety for new expats is the residency application. Spanish Immigration offices (Extranjería) are very strict. To obtain a Non-Lucrative Visa (NLV), Golden Visa, or TIE, your insurance MUST meet specific criteria.
Our Sanitas International Residents policy is tailor-made to ensure your application gets a "Green Light":
- Zero Co-payments: You pay your premium, and that’s it. No extra fees per visit (Mandatory for Visas).
- Full Coverage: Unlimited access to primary care, specialists, hospitalization, and surgeries.
- Repatriation: Coverage for transportation to your country of origin in tragic circumstances (often required for Visas).
- No Waiting Periods: Coverage can start immediately for accidents and illnesses (terms apply).
2. We Speak Your Language (Literally)
Navigating medical terms in Spanish can be daunting.
- English Documentation: We provide policy documents in English.
- English Support: When you call our Alicante agency, you speak to a human who speaks English. We help you find doctors, understand your coverage, and sort out paperwork.
- Bilingual Medical Network: We know exactly which hospitals in the Alicante province have translators and English-speaking staff.
3. Access to Alicante’s Best International Hospitals
With Sanitas, you have access to an extensive network. In our province, this includes top-tier facilities accustomed to treating expatriates:
