Sources and editorial policy
Rules about Spain's digital nomad visa change, and pages about them can go stale. This page explains which sources we use and the line between health-insurance guidance and legal advice.
Our source hierarchy
When sources disagree, the higher tier wins. Every regulated page on this site cites its sources in this order:
- Consolidated law — Law 14/2013 as published in the BOE, the statutory basis of the international-teleworker route.
- UGE guidance — the current FAQs and applicant documentation published by the Unidad de Grandes Empresas, which processes in-Spain residence applications.
- Spanish Social Security (TGSS/INSS) — for affiliation, certificate and healthcare-entitlement rules.
- Your Spanish consulate — for visa applications submitted abroad. Consular instructions vary by post, which is why our pages tell you which kind of application a statement applies to.
- DGSFP public register — for verified insurer and insurance-distribution registration information.
- Current Sanitas product and policy documents — for insurance-product facts, eligibility, benefits, limits and policy conditions.
- Qualified immigration, labour or Social Security counsel — for questions the documents can't settle, such as ambiguous work classifications.
We never cite blogs, forums or other insurance websites as authority for a legal statement.
Who is responsible for this site
The content of this website is the responsibility of Stephen Paul Gregory, the operator named in our legal notice, acting as Exclusive Insurance Agent of Sanitas S.A. de Seguros.
We don't publish individual bylines. Pages are written and checked by the business named above, and what matters for accuracy is on the page itself: the source beside each material claim, the date it was checked where that date changes the answer, and a route to tell us when something is wrong.
What we advise on — and what we don't
We are a Sanitas-only insurance agency. We can tell you what the published rules say about health-insurance evidence, help you work out how your situation is likely to be covered, and arrange qualifying Sanitas cover where private insurance is what your application needs. We do not provide immigration or Social Security legal advice, we do not handle visa applications, and we will tell you plainly when your situation needs a qualified lawyer or Social Security adviser instead of an insurance product.
Seen a rule change we haven't?
If UGE, your consulate or Social Security has published something that contradicts a page on this site, tell us.
