I find the CSI stuff very confusing.

I believe the EU citizen student may need it only. and that it might be able to get cover from the home member state. But I am not sure.

The documents they issue don't make it all that clear... it creates an air of doubt... But looking at the legislation, it appears not... but worth the gamble? :S

The CSI is confusing, and as I've been finding over the last couple of days, incredibly difficult to even acquire. I've applied for international medical insurance multiple times outside the UK and received a policy number and policy documents instantly. After applying online with BUPA, I was informed that they will go ahead and take funds from my account, but I have to wait to receive policy confirmation by post, with no timeframe given. So, I then tried with the slightly less expensive Aviva, and encountered the same situation. Also, not knowing at the time I made the application if I also needed coverage, to add me onto my husband's still nonexistent (but paid for) policy will take a further ten business days. All this for a policy that starts today. So, essentially I've lost a further 3 weeks of time to apply for the EEA2, and £130/month, all for insurance that's a gamble whether or not they'll accept it.

The student is the only person that requires it according to the UK's regulations. I suspect it could be extended to include family members, but as things stand only the student requires it.

Cover from home state would be allowed.

More or less. Could be some other form of cover from the government of the home member state.
