The EHIC card (E111 replacement since 2006)

The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) replaced the E111 from 31st December 2005. Like the E111 the EHIC is free of charge and entitles UK residents to reduced-cost, sometimes free healthcare that becomes necessary whilst visiting most European countries.

It is important that each traveller (including each child) hold an individual EHIC.

You can apply for an EHIC in the following ways:
