Same here in Malaga.  We are trying for the 3rd time since alot of people went to the Mayor to complain that the Health Center would not accept the forms from people who ONLY have Private Health Care.  So no matter what the Govt says the local health clinics are pretty clueless.

Hopefully soon they will sort this out....

I'm afraid you can't obtain Ehic any more, I tried and was refused, as they said it's only for holiday makers.

I'm glad someone else has experienced a problem, people don't believe you when you tell them or post it, all right for some apparently, receptionist don't always know or follow rules. I have got a lawyer now to come with me and interpret, and get me registered.

Take care Jean

You can still use the EHIC card as long as it’s in date. If it’s not you need to apply for a GHIC card instead. Check on UK government website.
