EHIC - European Health Insurance Card

Hey all,

I currently hold ILR from a Tier 2 General route. I just want to be sure that it's ok for me to get the EHIC card so I can travel as turist to EU countries and in any emergency, use the EHIC card.

I never bothered to get one before but as I am currently pregnant, thought it would be a good idea to have it.

Thanks in advance for any answers.

OK if you are registered with NHS and have NI number.

Be aware it's not a replacement for Travel Insurance - it will only provide basic cover that is offered by the country you are visiting, i.e. not necessarily to the same standard as in the UK.

Hi,

Yes I have both...always worked due to my VISA, just wan't sure because it states you need to be resident (which I believe I am with IRL) but better be safe than sorry with the rules here in the UK.
