I don't even know what country that is in. If it is in Spain, why don't you post in that forum? Or Portugal? Or Mexico?

the title of the message is living in fuerteventura [canary isles] i thought i had posted in living in spain

Hi snowy one , welcome i am going to Mallorca, come into the Spain area and post there ..

You don't say if you are of retirement age.

If you are then you get state health cover if you get a form E121 before you leave. If not of retirement age you get form E106 and that gives you around 2 years state cover.

After that, if you aint contributing to the system through Spanish NI payments then you have to have private cover
