Health or travel insurance documents
Certified copies of birth or marriage certificates, if family is coming

Your NIE certificate, or the paid modelo 790 receipt

Prescription medication for the first three months, with the prescription
Antihistamines and a basic first-aid kit

Spanish private health insurance certificate, no co-payments (most non-EU visas require one)

A card with no foreign transaction fees
