Hi

Just a very quick thank you for all of the very kind messages I received following the sudden death of my beautiful wife Michele. 

Total strangers sent me the kindest words and advice, and I will always be very grateful 

I'm now trying to sort my residency application out, but so bewildered over the varying scales for health cover 

Any recommendations please, for the cheapest cover, in order that I can complete my application. 

Also, for, residency, has the policy amount always to be paid in full, or are monthly payments allowed on any of the schemes. 

In anticipation

Thank you

I am assuming you are retired and receiving a pension.  In which case you do not need private insurance.  As soon as your S1 form from the U.K. has been registered, you can apply for a new EHIC card which gives you the same health cover as a Spaniard.
