If Your Certificate Was Rejected or Queried

We do not handle visa applications or give immigration legal advice. We are English-speaking Sanitas health insurance specialists who help you arrange the private health insurance many Spanish visa and residency routes require — suitable policy options, certificate wording, start dates and personalised quotes. Visa rules vary by consulate and change over time, so always confirm the full immigration requirements with the relevant Spanish consulate, an Extranjería office or a qualified immigration specialist.
Quick answer

If your health-insurance certificate has been rejected or queried for a Spanish visa, it is often due to fixable issues with the insurance document — wording, co-payments, dates, or not all applicants named. We help arrange a corrected, compliant Sanitas certificate. We do not handle visa appeals or give immigration legal advice.

A rejected or queried health-insurance certificate is often a document problem that can be fixed, not the end of your application. The issue is usually with the insurance policy or certificate wording rather than anything else. We help you arrange a corrected, compliant Sanitas certificate.

Important: we help with the health-insurance document only. We do not handle visa appeals, refusals or immigration legal matters — for those, speak to a qualified immigration specialist or the consulate.

Why

Common Reasons a Certificate Is Rejected

  • A quote or receipt was submitted instead of an issued certificate
  • The policy has co-payments where full cover is expected
  • Waiting periods or gaps where the route expects full qualifying cover
  • Wrong or missing names — not every applicant listed
  • Incorrect dates, or the cover not valid in Spain
  • The insurer is not recognised as authorised in Spain

Most of these are fixable by arranging a suitable, compliant policy and a correct certificate.

Wording vs policy

Is It the Wording or the Policy?

Sometimes the certificate simply needs clearer wording; other times the underlying policy is not compliant (for example it has co-payments where the route expects none) and a more suitable plan is needed. A certificate cannot state cover the policy does not provide, so we check both and arrange the right policy where needed.

By route

By Visa Route

The compliant certificate differs by route — see NLV, DNV and student health insurance. If you are switching insurer for this, see also changing insurer over certificate problems.
