Following Brexit the UK European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) is being replaced by the UK Global Health Insurance Card for UK travellers in the EU.
The EHIC and GHIC let you get state healthcare in Europe at a reduced cost or sometimes for free.
There is no charge for the card so if somebody wants to charge you then walk away.
If you apply for a card now, you will get the new UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) instead of a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). They are both valid if you are travelling to an EU country.
Following Brexit the UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) replaces the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). It allows you get state healthcare in the EU at a reduced cost or sometimes for free.
If you are a UK national living in the UK then you will need a GHIC when travelling in the EU. When your EHIC expires or if you are applying now for the first time, you'll now need to get a free GHIC instead.
If you have an EHIC which has not yet expired then you can still use it in the EU up until expiry date.
The GHIC is free and can be applied for online from the UK Government/NHS website .... or directly from here.
Remember it is FREE so if anybody asks for payment then walk away.
