As an American applying for a retiring visa, is there an upper age limit when seeking private insurance? Also, like in many countries do pre-conditions become an issue?聽 Thank you

I just checked with a popular spanish insurance company.聽 I sort a quote for an 80 year old聽聽It said I too old for a quoted course

If one is offered cover then existing conditions would always be considered and probably excluded.聽 Thus the cover provided would not be sufficient for residence status

As long as the insurance provides full
Cover I do not believe it matters where the company is located

Good luck

johncar,
A Spanish insurance company would be more familiar to the Spanish Consulate where I will be applying, and would not require translation of the lengthy policy document - perhaps important enough reasons for selection. Could you please name one or two such companies in Spain worth considering? Thank you.聽聽-nowretired

I suggest if you search on the internet under 鈥榮pain medical insurance鈥櫬� or聽聽鈥榮eguro medico Espa帽a鈥�. you can聽 choose as many companies or agents that suit you聽 for quotes

I cannot suggest which company might be suitable for you
