Going to turkey this year, does this card apply here.

No, there is no reciprocal healthcare arrangement with Turkey. A comprehensive travel insurance policy would be required for any medical attention or healthcare.

Hi there

Can you please tell me if it is possible to have multiple EHIC cards.The reason I ask this, is that my daughter (who stays with my ex wife) is coming on holiday we me this year for the first time since the E111 was abolished and I applied for the new EHIC card for her and would this prevent her mother from applying for one?

I think it probably would - but I assume that she only has one passort too so the simple answer is to keep it with her passport and just make sure that you pass them backwards and forwards between you as necessary.

Hi everyone
Can anyone tell me if the little cards that replaced the E111 have to be renewed each holiday/yr. We had them a couple of years ago for all the good they were, i had to get the doc out and produced this card and he said no its only good if you have to go to hospital.
Thanks

I have moved your post from the Travel Insurance topic to the EHIC topic.

I have just checked my EHIC and it has an expiry date of September 2008. I have checked the EHIC website, on Page 1 of this topic, and it looks like you have to reapply to renew an expired card.

It is still worth getting one as having one is a condition of some insurance policies.

If you go to Page 1 of this topic and click on the link to apply for the EHIC there is a link on their web page to apply for or renew the card.
