Hi,

Can anyone tell me where I can get the application form for Convenio Especial in Velez Blanco or Rubio, please? 

Thanks

It is the service under which we can make payments to the Spanish health service and get healthcare (similar to National

Insurance contributions in the UK), once you have residencia.

Many thanks. I haven't heard of it before.  However as we are pensioners we are already on the social security system . So it does not apply to us.

Short answer - you can’t.  Convenio Especial is not available in Andalucía and is being withdrawn in other areas as well.

An update to this.  I see of recent that the PSOE, (if Pedro Sánchez manages to gain investiture in September ...) has stated that Convenio Especial is to be reintroduced .... stay tuned
