Visa & residency
Applicants for the Non-Lucrative Visa or Digital Nomad Visa usually focus first on getting a suitable, visa-compliant policy — normally Sanitas Residents or Residents Platinum. Once the policy is active, centres like Balmes can be used according to that policy and the current network.
See NLV health insurance and Digital Nomad Visa health insurance for how cover works for each route. Add-ons do not make a policy visa-compliant — the core plan must be suitable first.
