The stuff you actually need to know
Getting there
Fly into the nearest major international airport to your chosen clinic in Spain. Transfers are arranged by the clinic or another provider where an offer includes them, so check what yours covers before you book flights.
Currency on the ground
The local currency is Euro (EUR). Clinics usually quote in EUR or USD, and international cards are widely accepted for medical and hotel costs.
SIM / data
Buy a local SIM or an eSIM before you travel, or on arrival at the airport. Some clinic packages include one; your offer will say if yours does.
Language
Ask the clinic what language your consultation will be in, and whether an interpreter is provided. Where an offer includes interpreting, it will say so. A convenience translation is not a medical interpreter.
Recovery time
How long you stay is a clinical decision for the treating clinic, so ask it before booking a return flight. Accommodation is arranged by the clinic or by you, depending on what the offer includes.
Visa & entry
Updated 12 April 2026Invitation letters: If Spain requires a consular visa for your nationality, ask the clinic whether it can issue a medical-purpose invitation letter to support your application. Whether one is available, and what it contains, is for the clinic.
What patients ask before flying to Spain
Do I pay GetClinic anything?
Not for matching, and never a share of your treatment price. Clinics pay GetClinic a software subscription and fixed technology fees, so there's no incentive to push you toward a more expensive option. A consultation, if you book one, is priced before you pay.
When do I pay the clinic?
You pay a deposit at checkout to hold your date — your clinic sets how much — and the balance goes to the clinic around the procedure. Cancel at least 72 hours before your scheduled treatment and the unused deposit comes back in full; inside that window the clinic may apply only a cancellation charge it disclosed to you before you paid.
How do you decide which clinics to shortlist for me?
A coordinator reads your case and puts it to clinics whose stated scope, availability and language fit it; the clinic's surgeon confirms candidacy before a quote is finalised.
Is aftercare included?
Aftercare is provided by the clinic that treats you, and what it includes is set out in its own written offer. Where you book through GetClinic, we coordinate that follow-up with the clinic after you return home. GetClinic Care is a separate paid membership with its own terms.
Why is treatment in Spain more affordable?
Lower facility and labour costs and higher procedure volume, rather than lower standards. Equipment, materials and accreditations vary by clinic wherever you go, so ask any provider what it uses and which accreditations it holds, and check them against the national register.
