The retirement age in Spain is older than that in my country: it is 65 years old for both men and women (some professions allow retirement before the age of 65). You can apply for a pension after the retirement age. The minimum standard for retirement pensions newly stipulated in 2016 is 782.25 euros. Anyone over 65 years old, regardless of nationality, as long as they have legal right of residence, can buy monthly subway and bus passes for the elderly with their proof of identity (residence permit, passport), and the fares are much cheaper than normal fares. Many tourist attractions also take care of tickets for 65-year-olds. In addition, almost every community has set up activity centers for the elderly to organize various interest activities for the elderly, such as painting, dancing, gymnastics, etc. As a country selected into the list of global retirement paradises, Spain is the best choice for you to retire and enjoy life!
Spanish law stipulates that all people have the right to medical services, including not only Spanish citizens, but also foreigners who have obtained legal residency. Pay social security fees, apply for a medical card, and receive free medical treatment in Spanish public hospitals with the card. Your spouse and children who are not working will also enjoy free medical care. Those with better conditions can also buy a private insurance for emergency relief. By paying more than 50 euros a month, you can enjoy all free medical services, including first aid and serious illness.
Spain implements free public medical care for all. This mechanism is called the "national health system". Its three major characteristics are universality, welfare, and publicity of funding sources. Spain has a high medical standard and advanced related medical equipment. There are 98 public hospitals, 13,180 primary health care centers and 450 private hospitals in the country. It is one of the countries with the best public health care system in the world. The health care network is complete, and health centers and hospitals are densely distributed, which can provide primary diagnosis and specialized care, making medical treatment very convenient. Spain has a complete prevention and emergency system and a well-developed first aid system.
