S1 Registration with INSS
For Non-Lucrative Visa (NLV) Applicants

Use Your UK State Pension to Access Spanish Healthcare
If you are a UK pensioner moving to Spain, the S1 form allows you to access free Spanish state healthcare, fully funded by the UK government. This certificate is essential for those applying for a Non-Lucrative Visa (NLV) and can eliminate the need for private health insurance, saving you thousands of euros per year.
What is the S1 Certificate?
The S1 certificate is issued to UK citizens who receive a UK state pension and are either living in Spain or planning to move within 3 months. It enables you (and eligible dependents) to:
-
Register for public healthcare in Spain
-
Be covered under the Spanish Seguridad Social system
-
Avoid the cost of private health insurance required for visa applicants
How to Get Your S1 Form
You can request your S1 certificate directly by calling:
NHS Overseas Healthcare Services: +44 (0)191 218 1999
Have your National Insurance Number ready when you call.
Once issued, the S1 form must be registered with the INSS (Instituto Nacional de la Seguridad Social) in Spain.
