Sanitas Residents and Sanitas Más Salud are designed for different situations. Residents is commonly used for non-EU visa and residency applications, while Más Salud (no-copay) is a general private health plan often used for everyday private cover. This page explains which suits you, subject to current terms.
Key difference
Sanitas Residents is positioned for non-EU visa and residency applicants (NLV, DNV), while Sanitas Más Salud is a general private health plan. Más Salud (no-copay) is often suitable for EU residency registration and everyday private cover, but it is generally NOT positioned as the non-EU visa product — for the NLV/DNV, Residents or Residents Platinum are the usual choices.
