Thanks for taking the time to leave such detailed practical answers. Your help is much appreciated Claire

Thanks for all the information, your help is much appreciated. I will be working as a freelance writer with multiple clients. Is that enough information or do you need more? We have private health care here in the Netherlands which is compulsory and as far as I know they don't offer any assistance to EU citizens. Thanks again Claire

Thanks very much for the information. I think I need to arrange to see an accountant as soon as possible. One further question, my husband isn't going to be working (lucky him!) will my contributions allow him to claim as my dependant or not? Thanks again Claire

My husband and I are UK citizens (and paid taxes in UK for many years) but have been living (and paying taxes) in the Netherlands for the last two years. We are moving to France where I will be self employed so will not benefit from employers health care benefits. My income can be sporadic and though I will be looking for an accountant and paying taxes in France it may not be immediate. Can anyone advise of what options, if any we have for health insurance? Are we entitled to anything as EU citizens? Thanks
