This E111 topic has been running for over a year now and refers to both the E111 and its replacement - the EHIC.

The E111 ceases to be valid from 31 December 2005 and visitors to most EU countries will require an EHIC from 1 January 2006.

To try and eliminate confusion for anyone reading posts much earlier in the thread and thinking that the E111 is still valid, I have removed this particular topic now and opened a new one for discussion only about the EHIC - please click here for the new EHIC topic.

Many thanks.
