If you do not have international health insurance until shortly before coming to Valencia, you should send a scanned copy to incoming@uv.es as soon as you have it.  This insurance must cover at least:
-Medical and sanitary assistance in case of accident or illness 
-Repatriation or sanitary transport of injured or sick people 
-Repatriation or transport in case of death 
-Displacement of family member in case of illness or death 
-Civil liability 
You must prove that you have taken out the insurance by contributing: If you have made an "extension" to a pre-existing policy, ask for a certificate specifying the coverage. The UV is affiliated to OnCampus, a company specialized in insurance for the university community. From this link you can contract "online" the insurance and print the certificate. Look for our university by its official name: Universitat de València.
