According to recent data, there are more than 5 million expatriates living in Spain, approximately 11% of the total population. British expats currently number nearly 316,000; and many choose to retire to the country for its warmer climate in southern Europe.
For expats looking to travel outside of Spain, to return to their home country or go elsewhere; travel insurance has to be an essential element in planning your trip.
However, finding a suitable travel insurance for expats product can be a problem, as most travel insurance companies will insist that clients be residents of the country in which they begin their trip, in order to qualify for an travel insurance for expats policy.
That means expats must buy a policy from a Spanish national insurer. A problem that is further complicated by the United Kingdom’s withdrawl from the European Union with Brexit.
For those expatriates with pre-existing medical conditions, the issue is complicated further by the fact that the cover available to them is very limited, with most Spanish travel insurers excluding cover to those with existing medical conditions.
Expatriates suffering from conditions such as respiratory disease, cardiovascular disease, cancer, mental health disorders, diabetes, alzheimer's disease, dementia, kidney disease, COPD, stroke or hypertension could have complications during their trip, which would not be covered under a usual travel insurance product that would not insure travellers with existing medical conditions.
