“Bienvenidos a España!”

Are these the words you are dreaming about? The chance to study in Spain is a unique opportunity where you can learn about the diverse region we know today as Spain. With over 46 million people, Spain is home to a variety of regional identities including Basques, Catalans, Galicians, and Castilians just to name a few. If you are looking to learn Spanish – or perhaps the second most commonly spoken language, Catalan – Spain may just be the perfect study abroad location for you.

Before you plan on departing your home country to explore this diversity, you will need to consider purchasing Spain Study Abroad Insurance. This plan will cover you outside your home country, even if you decide to spend your weekends taking advantage of the inexpensive transportation that will enable you to travel Europe with ease and flexibility.

Entrance to the country can be quite difficult if you are not properly prepared. You will need to present coverage of your Spain Study Abroad Insurance showing that you meet the minimum requirements specified by the Spanish government. Most consulates require that your Spain Study Abroad insurance plan have a minimum coverage of 30,000 euros with repatriation included.

The Atlas Travel plan is designed to cover you educational studies overseas in Spain, as well as outside your home country. Not only does the plan meet the minimum requirements of 30,000 euros with repatriation as an included benefit, but you’ll be able to get a customized visa letter immediately that you can present as proof of coverage. By having everything at your finger tips, you can rest assured that you are in proper hands no matter what situation you face overseas. The plan provides translation services around the clock, and includes coverage for sicknesses such as colds and the flu as well as major emergencies that include hospitalization, emergency room visits, urgent care, and much more.
