European Free Trade Area states are not covered. The UK Global Health Insurance Card has been launched to recognise this new agreement and will gradually replace old European Health Insurance Cards (EHIC) once they expire. </ins></p><p><ins class="ministerial">Under the terms of the Withdrawal Agreement, UK nationals who were residing and/or working in the EU, and EU citizens residing and/or working in the UK, before 1 January 2021 are eligible to apply for a new UK EHIC which can be used for travel to EU member states, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. For those who are not covered by the Withdrawal Agreement, the UK has agreed a bilateral reciprocal arrangement with Norway which means UK nationals are covered for necessary healthcare there.</ins></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 18/01/2021 17:30:43 question first ministerially corrected 24/03/2021 11:09:28 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar previous answer version 74914 answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar
