Living in Spain has plenty of perks – sunshine, tapas, and a more relaxed pace of life. But if you’re an expat enjoying life abroad, there’s one thing that’s easy to overlook: travel insurance for your adventures further afield.
The policies you relied on back in the UK may no longer apply – and that can leave you exposed just when you need cover most.
Your EHIC or GHIC card? It may no longer be valid
Many expats assume their old EHIC or GHIC card will still protect them on trips around Europe. Unfortunately, once you move abroad permanently, those cards may no longer be valid, depending on the circumstances.
And most UK travel insurers? They usually require you to be a UK resident to get cover. So you might find your old policy won’t pay out if something goes wrong.
Why expats need specialist cover
Living in Spain changes your insurance needs. You’re no longer travelling from the UK, but from Spain – so your cover needs to reflect that.
That’s where Staysure Expat Travel Insurance can help. It’s built specifically for people like you: British nationals living in Spain who want reliable, English-language travel insurance they can count on.
