European Health Insurance Card
E111 / EHIC
Reciprocal Health Care Agreement in Europe
As from 1st September 2005 the new European Health Insurance Card came into effect as a replacement to the old E111 form. Its purpose is to ensure that European travellers get free or discounted emergency healthcare. The new card is issued on a per person basis as opposed to per family as was the case with the E111.
The card is available from EHIC Application Line 0845 606 2030 or can be applied for on line.
The government stresses however that this should not be a replacement for travel insurance and it is highly recommended that travellers cover themselves for unexpected costs, including medical emergency repatriation.
A European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) entitles you to reduced-cost, sometimes free, medical treatment that becomes necessary while you’re in a European Economic Area (EEA) country or Switzerland.
The EEA consists of the European Union (EU) countries plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. Switzerland applies the EHIC arrangements through an agreement with the EU. The EHIC is valid in:
Austria
Belgium
Cyprus (but not Northern Cyprus)
Czech Republic
Denmark
Estonia
Finland
France
Germany
Greece Hungary
Iceland
Ireland
Italy
Latvia
Liechtenstein
Lithuania
Luxembourg
Malta
Netherlands
Norway
Poland
Portugal
Slovakia
Slovenia
Spain
Sweden
Switzerland
Applying for a European Health Insurance Card
You can apply for an EHIC for your spouse/partner and any children up to the age of 16 (or 19 if they are in full-time education) at the same time as applying for your own. If you are a foster parent or guardian (including boarding school teaching staff), you can apply on behalf of any children you are looking after. You must be over 16 to apply as a main applicant.
The card entitles you to be treated in exactly the same way as a local person when you require health care in Spain, Portugal and Italy. |

Watch out for rabies. It is not unknown for people to kill dogs, etc, on sight, if they are seen roaming without an owner, due to the prevalance of this terrible disease in continental Europe. |

It all depends if it is for a short stay or for establishement.
For a short stay, the from E111, wich you should get before departure, should get you access to treatment.
I know the EEU card is supposed to do the same, but Ireland prooved to the foreigner I am that it does not always work as well: better then get both before you leave.
If you settle down in one of those countries, work ther as an expat, you will then get access to treatment, as any national of the country you have chosen to live in. |
