Insurance contract, if not otherwise provided therein, comes into force at the moment of payment of insurance fee or the first instalment.
On one hand, instalments should provide for a necessary economic protection, and on the other hand, these payments should not overload your family budget.

- copy of your passport and residence permit or a NIE (foreign citizen identification number);
- bank account in Spain for direct debit of bills;
- filled out questionnaire about health-condition and life-style.
Standard accident insurance contract is annual. For trips and sports competitions, it is better to use special insurance plans, thought for these cases:
Risk life insurance – a type of insurance comprising only risks. This insurance policy covers only a certain period of time, during which, if insured person suffers an accident, (s)he will receive premium from the company, but no savings are accrued under such contract. If no insured event happens during the established period, the company will make no payments, nor refunds.
The main type of risk insurance is a temporary life insurance. This option is used when you need to provide for financial protection for a certain period, like competitions, trips or travelling to a flash point.
In life insurance, amount of coverage depends on amount of instalments. For larger amounts of coverage, insurance company will carefully study all risks, a contract may provide for certain limitations as to minimum and maximum insurance sums; this insurance plan is very individual and many factors are taken into account.
