Conclusion
When applying for health insurance for the Spain Non Lucrative Visa, using an Airbnb address is acceptable as a temporary solution.
However, once you move to a permanent residence, it is essential to update your address with the insurance provider to ensure that important documents, like your policy card, reach the correct location.
Keep in mind that the address must be in Spain, and for registering with the Padrón, you’ll need a deed, lease agreement, or permission from the property owner.
As long as you maintain communication with your insurance provider, using an Airbnb address at the start should not pose any major issues.
