Medical insurance for permanent move?
Hi All,
Firstly, massive thanks for all of the information you all provide. It's been enormously helpful for us in visiting, buying and now planning a permanent (well, semi-permanent) move.
My question is about medical insurance but is specific to our circumstances (as you would expect, i guess)!
We own a property in the area but currently live and work in the UK. We will move over there for at least two years (career break) from Spring next year. I have an Irish/EU passport and my wife a UK passport. We will both work from Spain and plan to become resident after making the move over next year. Given my EU citizenship, are the rules around medical insurance the same for us? Cover seems rather extortionate (we're fit/healthy and in our late 30s and 40s respectively) but we just can't quite pin down whether we need or should ensure that we have this cover in order to apply for residency. Advice seems conflicting. Can anyone help?
Thanks so much!
