The Spanish Consulate General in Dublin, located at 17A Merlyn Park, Dublin 4, processes long-stay visa applications for Irish citizens and Ireland-resident foreign nationals. For any visa lasting more than 90 days — including the Non-Lucrative Visa (NLV), Digital Nomad Visa (DNV), Student Visa and family reunification — you must submit private health insurance that meets strict Spanish criteria.
Standard Irish or international travel cover almost never passes. The Consulate requires a certificate of cover from an insurer registered with Spain's Dirección General de Seguros y Fondos de Pensiones (DGSFP), with full medical cover, no co-payments for NLV applicants, and a year of cover from your intended date of arrival in Spain.
247 Expat Insurance is fully DGSFP-compliant and works with Irish applicants every week. We issue your certificate in English and Spanish, normally within 24 hours, so it slots straight into your Dublin appointment file without re-work or refusal.
The Dublin Consulate operates on its own pace and its own paperwork standards. Unlike London or Manchester, Irish applicants generally submit in person rather than through a BLS partner centre — which means a clean, complete file matters even more. A returned application here usually means another four-to-six-week wait for a fresh appointment slot, so getting the insurance certificate right the first time pays for itself many times over.
The exact wording on your certificate matters. These six points are non-negotiable for most long-stay visa categories processed in Dublin.
Your private policy must mirror the cover provided by Spain's public health service — outpatient, hospital, emergency and specialist care included.
Unlimited medical cover is preferred. Where capped, the limit must comfortably exceed the €30,000 Schengen minimum for short-stay applicants.
For Non-Lucrative Visa applicants the policy must show zero co-payments — the applicant pays nothing at point of service.
Medical repatriation and, where relevant, repatriation of remains must be explicitly listed on the certificate.
Where the visa category requires it, declared pre-existing conditions are covered on the policy — not silently excluded.
Cover must run for a minimum of 12 months from your intended Spanish entry date, with no gap between Dublin submission and arrival.
Our Dublin clients come from across Ireland — from Galway retirees to remote-working Dubliners and Cork-based families relocating to the Costa del Sol.
We see the same handful of issues cause re-submissions every month. Avoid these and your file moves through cleanly.
We're not a generic comparison site. We're a specialist Spanish-resident broker that issues consulate-ready certificates every working day.
All policies we place are with insurers registered under Spain's DGSFP — the regulatory standard the Dublin Consulate verifies against.
Native English speakers handle your file from first enquiry to certificate delivery. No translation friction, no misunderstandings.
Visa appointments don't respect office hours. Neither do we — weekend support is standard, not a favour.
Standard turnaround is 24 hours. Most Dublin applicants have their bilingual certificate the same working day.
We know what Dublin caseworkers expect on the certificate. The wording, the layout, the dates — all dialled in.
Direct lines to underwriters at Spain's leading private health insurers — faster amendments, faster reissues, no broker chain to slow you down.
From the first WhatsApp message through to your certificate landing in your inbox, you deal with one Spanish-resident broker who actually understands the Dublin Consulate's standards. We've placed cover for retirees in Howth, remote workers in Ranelagh, students heading to Barcelona and families relocating from Limerick to Valencia — the visa categories and the geography both change, but the Consulate's evidentiary standard does not. We keep that standard front and centre on every certificate we issue.
