Foreign students from member States of the European Union (Germany, Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Denmark, Slovakia, Slovenia, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, United Kingdom, Czech Republic and Sweden) as well as those students from member States who take part within the agreement for the European Economic Area (Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway) and those from Switzerland, may obtain medical attention (Social Security) during their stay in Spain and receive the same benefits as Spanish students.
They should, therefore, apply for the new European Medical Card from the health authorities in their home country and submit an original and its copy together with their passport or identity card in any Social Security centre in Spain.
