Understanding Health Insurance in Portugal

Having the right health coverage for you and your family is often high on the priority list regardless of which country you live in. However, if you are living or moving to a new country, it is even more important to understand what options might be available to you without getting lost in the fine print. 

Whether you are already living in Portugal or require insurance for your visa application process, which one is right for you?

Do you have pre-existing conditions to be considered?
What is covered and what isn’t?
How much does it differ from what you may have been used to?
How much should you expect to pay?

Join us live on this interactive Q&A webinar with insurance expert Nuno Muñoz Mendes from Winsurance. Nuno will guide us through the types of insurance that are necessary, optional and recommended. As always, our expert will also be available to answer your questions.
