EH1C Investor Tourists
Helpful member
Only being a investor tourist lol. I was thinking maybe we should apply for a new EH1C before the 31st if possible so we would get the two years extended use till it expires. of course we already have one that’s not due just yet to expire but found this on the NHS EH1C site hope it helps. Good news .
A European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) gives you the right to access state-provided healthcare during a temporary stay in the EU country.
The UK has reached an agreement on healthcare when visiting the EU.
You can continue to use an EHIC or get a provisional replacement certificate (PRC) if you need treatment and don't have a card.
If you apply for a card now, you'll get a new UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) instead of an EHIC. These pages and the application portal will still refer to EHIC until 4 January 2021.
You do not need to apply for a GHIC if you already have an EHIC. Your EHIC remains valid in the EU until it expires.
From 1 January 2021, GHICs and most UK EHICs will not cover you in Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein or Switzerland.
If you’re visiting those countries, make sure you have travel insurance with health cover and check the GOV.UK travel advice.
