The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) lets you get healthcare in another EU or European Economic Area (EEA) state for free, or at a reduced cost.
▶️It covers you if you are on holiday, or on a short-term stay.
A short-term stay is generally accepted as for a period of fewer than 3 months. The exception to this is a student who may be considered a visitor on a short-term stay up to a full academic year.
EHIC replaces the old E111 form. You need one for each member of your family. It’s free and there’s no charge to apply.
There are different ways to apply, find out here?
