The Spanish Consulate General in Miami, located at 2655 Le Jeune Road, Suite 203, Coral Gables, FL 33134, processes long-stay visa applications for U.S. citizens and Florida-resident foreign nationals. Its jurisdiction stretches across Florida, the southeastern United States and most of the Caribbean — one of the busiest consular regions for Spanish residency applications anywhere in North America.
For any visa lasting more than 90 days — the Non-Lucrative Visa (NLV), Digital Nomad Visa (DNV), Student Visa or family reunification — the Miami consulate requires private health insurance that meets strict Spanish criteria. The policy must come from an insurer registered with Spain's Dirección General de Seguros y Fondos de Pensiones (DGSFP), with full medical cover, no copayments for NLV applicants, full repatriation, and a minimum of 12 months running from your intended date of entry into Spain.
U.S. health plans — Aetna, Blue Cross, Cigna, United, Florida Blue — do not qualify, even with international riders. They are not DGSFP-registered, they exclude residency, and the Miami consulate rejects them on sight. Travel insurance from a U.S. carrier is also a non-starter for long-stay visas.
247 Expat Insurance is fully DGSFP-compliant and works with applicants from Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Atlanta, Charlotte, Nashville, New Orleans, San Juan and across the Caribbean every week. We issue bilingual English/Spanish certificates normally within 24 hours — in time for your BLS International USA appointment or in-person Coral Gables submission, regardless of where hurricane season has scattered your schedule.
The exact wording on your certificate matters. These six points are non-negotiable for most long-stay visa categories processed through Coral Gables and BLS International USA.
Your private policy must mirror the cover provided by Spain's Sistema Nacional de Salud — outpatient, hospital, emergency and specialist care included.
Unlimited medical cover is preferred. Where capped, the limit must comfortably exceed the €30,000 Schengen minimum — Miami caseworkers expect a generous ceiling.
For Non-Lucrative Visa applicants the policy must show zero copayments — you pay nothing at point of service. Any copay tier triggers an automatic refusal.
Medical repatriation to the U.S. (and repatriation of remains where relevant) must be written into the policy, not sold as a separate travel rider.
Valid across all 27 Schengen countries, not just Spain. The certificate must show the territorial scope clearly — "Spain plus Schengen Area".
Cover must run for at least 12 months from your intended Spanish entry date, with no gap between BLS USA submission, consulate decision and your eventual move.
Miami's jurisdiction is one of the most diverse in the Spanish consular network. We place cover for clients across Florida, the Gulf coast, the Carolinas, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and most of the Caribbean — from snowbird retirees to bilingual Cuban-American families and Puerto Rican remote workers.
We see the same handful of issues cause rejections every month from BLS International USA and the Coral Gables office. Avoid these and your file moves through cleanly.
We're not a generic comparison site or a U.S. travel broker. We're a Spanish-resident specialist that issues consulate-ready certificates for the Miami jurisdiction every working day — including weekends when Atlantic storms force last-minute schedule changes.
All policies we place are with insurers registered under Spain's DGSFP — the regulatory standard the Miami consulate verifies against.
Native English and Spanish speakers handle your file end-to-end. Useful for the Latin American expat communities Miami serves.
BLS USA reschedules due to a hurricane warning? We're online weekends and U.S. holidays to reissue or rebook your certificate fast.
Standard turnaround is 24 hours. Most Miami applicants have their bilingual certificate the same working day.
We know what Coral Gables caseworkers expect on the certificate — the wording, the dates, the Schengen scope, the bilingual format.
Certificates formatted for direct upload to BLS International USA, with no re-work and no formatting errors at submission.
From the first WhatsApp message through to your certificate landing in your inbox, you deal with one Spanish-resident broker who actually understands the Miami consulate's standards. We've placed cover for snowbird retirees in Coral Gables, bilingual remote workers in Brickell, students heading from Gainesville to Salamanca, Puerto Rican families relocating to Valencia, and Cuban-American couples buying second homes in Mallorca — the visa categories and the geography both change, but the consulate's evidentiary standard does not. We keep that standard front and center on every certificate we issue.
Already sorting your visa cover? Most Miami applicants pair it with one or more of these once they arrive in Spain.
Full private health cover for residents — including the consulate-ready NLV and DNV policies issued for Miami applicants.
Buildings and contents cover for U.S.-owned Spanish homes — Costa del Sol villas, Mallorcan fincas and Valencia city apartments.
Annual multi-trip and single-trip cover for Spain-based residents traveling back to Miami, the Caribbean or onward across Europe.
Applying through a different consulate? We support applicants right across the U.S., Canada, Ireland and the U.K.
