Spanish Visa Denied? 100% Insurance Money-Back Guarantee

Securing private medical insurance is one of the most decisive requirements when applying for any visa or residency permit for Spain (Student Visa, Non-Lucrative Visa, Digital Nomad, or Golden Visa). Spanish immigration law strictly requires that the policy be paid in full and activated prior to submitting your visa application at the consulate.

This policy requirement often triggers the single biggest anxiety for international applicants: "What happens to the €400 to €700 I just paid if the Spanish Consulate denies or rejects my visa application?"

At VitaBlue, our answer is simple and legally binding: You do not lose your money. All qualifying policies issued through our platform (notably ASISA Health Students and Sanitas International Students) include an official 100% money-back refund guarantee if your visa is refused.

Mandatory Requirements for a 100% Premium Refund

To receive a full refund directly to your original payment card or bank account, Spanish insurers (under standard DGSFP regulatory terms) require two conditions:

• ✓1. The policy must not have started yet: The cancellation request must be formally submitted before the policy effective start date. For this reason, VitaBlue always advises setting your insurance start date to the day of your planned flight to Spain or the start of classes, rather than your consulate interview date.
• ✓2. Official Consulate Refusal Letter: You must provide a legible copy of the official refusal or rejection notification issued by the Spanish Consulate or immigration office (Extranjería).

Step-by-Step: How to Request Your Refund with VitaBlue

When contracting through VitaBlue, you do not need to navigate complex Spanish customer service hotlines. We handle the entire cancellation procedure on your behalf:

• ✓Step 1: Send us your refusal letter: Forward a clear PDF or photo of your consular refusal notification to your assigned VitaBlue advisor via WhatsApp or email.
• ✓Step 2: Expedited claim filing: Within 24 business hours, our specialized operations team verifies the document and lodges the formal cancellation and refund request directly with the insurer (ASISA or Sanitas).
• ✓Step 3: Direct refund to your payment method: For ASISA Health Students, the full 100% premium is refunded directly back to the original credit or debit card used at checkout. For direct-debit policies, funds are transferred back to your bank account.
