This Is What They Say About Us
Jo Gent17/03/2025 We are an American retired couple moving to Spain who got tax-related advice from Louis Williams--and it was incredibly thorough, complete, and helpful! We had spreadsheets in our inbox before we ended the call. He is both friendly and professional. We would strongly recommend Louis and his company, and in fact we intend to contact them again in the future. Maggie Rodarte17/03/2025 Excellent exploratory meeting with Louis to discuss the tax implications of my family's move to Spain. I feel so much more confident in the path we need to take after just a 30 minute meeting. Will definitely be using Entre Trámites for our filing needs. Marta Santoni14/03/2025 The first call I had with them was super clear and professional. I hope will continue in this way using their services!

FAQ
General
Info
No. It is not valid when the purpose of the trip is to receive scheduled medical treatment outside Spain, in which case, the National Social Security Institute (INSS) must issue the corresponding form, following a favourable report from the Health Service.
If you move your normal residence to another EU Member State or to the United Kingdom, Norway, Liechtenstein, Iceland or Switzerland, you must fill in form S1 instead of using the European Health Insurance Card to receive medical treatment in your new country of residence.
The card covers medical expenses incurred during the trip due to unforeseen health problems. You can receive public health care if you have an accident, fall ill, become ill with a chronic illness or go into labour.
Será atendido por un médico, en un hospital o un centro de atención sanitaria, como si fuera un residente más del país, con los servicios que se presten allí.
Además de la atención, incluye la prescripción y dispensación de medicamentos, también en iguales condiciones a las de los residentes en el país.
You can only claim compensation for any reimbursable advances you may be charged, not for co-payments.
This reimbursement can be requested in the country where you receive health care. If this is not possible, you can also apply for reimbursement in Spain by applying to the social security authorities, either electronically or in person, by filling in this form.
Refusal is unlikely, a valid European Health Insurance Card must be accepted by all countries included in its scope of coverage.
