Question
Does health insurance for a digital nomad Spain require a full year’s payment upfront? The DKV agent says I need to pay until December to get the certificate. Is that accurate?
What if I am planning to apply as a freelancer? Then can I just commit to social security and skip the private health insurance? Can I skip it for my spouse as well?
