S1 Question

A British S1 covers both too.

Yes ,it covers both country of residence and the UK; the later had to be fought for during the Brexit negotiations. May was trying to deprive access to the NHS for us “citizens of nowhere”.

If I get an Austrian S1 I will have access to treatment in France, Austria, Switzerland and Germany. I have also worked in Switzerland and I read for my Doctorate in Germany. I wont have access to the NHS, but then I never travel there and have zero intention to return.

I don’t think the UK S1 covers other than country of residence and S1 issuing country.

That is certainly my understanding.

OH and I are in France permanently and our Healthcare is via our UK issued S1 linked into CPAM etc… blah blah blah…

We both also have our UK issued EHIC.. which covers us in the same way when we go to another EU country etc etc … (and if we go back to UK)

“any of the 27 EU countries, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland, UK “

Apply for the UK issued cards, if you’re already on UK S1
