Will my EHIC still work?

Since the UK left the EU, the EHIC (European Health Insurance Card) is being gradually replaced by the GHIC (Global Health Insurance Card). If you still have a valid EHIC, you can continue to use it until it expires.
When it’s time to renew, you’ll need to apply for a GHIC instead - it’s free to apply. Click here to apply for a free GHIC.
