Travel Insurance for Digital Nomads – Why Spanish Residents Need a Spain-Based Policy

Written by 247 Expat Insurance | May 1, 2025 11:31:29 AM

The rise of remote work and digital nomad lifestyles has made it easier than ever to travel while earning a living. Whether you’re working from Bali, Mexico, Thailand, or anywhere in Europe, having the right travel insurance policy is essential to protect you from unexpected medical costs, trip cancellations, and travel-related emergencies.

 

At 247 Expat Insurance, we offer long-term travel insurance for Spanish residents that provides continuous coverage for up to 6 or 12 months, covering pre-existing conditions, medical expenses, and worldwide travel risks. But why should Spanish residents choose a Spain-based policy instead of an international provider? Let’s dive in.

 

 

Why Do Digital Nomads Need Travel Insurance?

 

  • Medical Emergencies Abroad – Without insurance, hospital treatment in the U.S., Asia, or other countries can cost thousands of euros.
  • Flight Cancellations & Travel Disruptions – If your trip is delayed or canceled, travel insurance can help you recover costs.
  • Theft or Loss of Personal Belongings – Laptops, smartphones, and work equipment are prime targets for thieves.
  • Legal & Liability Protection – If you accidentally cause damage or injury abroad, travel insurance protects you financially.
  • Visa & Residency Requirements – Some countries require proof of travel or health insurance for long-term stays.

 

💡 Digital nomads are more exposed to travel risks than short-term tourists—having the right insurance ensures peace of mind.

 

 

Why Spanish Residents Should Choose a Spain-Based Travel Insurance Policy

 

Many digital nomads look for global insurance providers, but Spanish residents should always opt for a Spain-based travel insurance policy. Here’s why:

 

  • Legal Compliance – A Spanish policy complies with Spanish consumer protection laws, making claims and disputes easier to handle.
  • No Unexpected Coverage Gaps – Some international insurers exclude coverage for Spanish residents or require the policyholder to live abroad full-time.
  • Seamless Medical Reimbursement – A Spanish travel insurance policy ensures that if you return to Spain for treatment, your medical expenses are covered.
  • Pre-Existing Conditions Covered – Many international travel insurance companies exclude pre-existing medical conditions, but our policies do not (subject to policy details).
  • Easier Claim Process – Working with a Spanish-based company means customer service in your language and policies that follow Spanish regulations.

 

💡 If you are a Spanish resident, always choose a travel insurance policy that originates from Spain to avoid coverage issues.
