Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum. My family and I are moving to Girona next week - it's very exciting but a little shaded by all the Brexit confusion!
We're British, so it looks like we're going to have to apply for visas. I've done a little research online and it looks like I will need to have private health insurance when this happens - in order to obtain my 'non-lucrative visa'.
Has anyone had any experience in this? Could anyone recommend a good health insurer? I'd like to cover myself, my fiance and our toddler.
Any recommendations welcome!
Thanks in advance,
Vanessa

It is only possible to explain the law as it is now and nothing has changed as of now.

Of course Brexit may affect your situation but no one knows now what will happen.

Thus you do not need a visa now if you are an EU national. However, as such, you now need medical cover and sufficient income to be allowed to live in Spain
