Just a quick ps to my message. You said you will be living 66% in the UK. Presuming you keep an address in the UK, that will be considered your principle residence and thus, you will need the E109.  Newcastle will ask you to answer lots of questions about your situation, where you live, how much you work, etc and from that will decide if you are eligible for the E109.

We are in the same situation but in reverse.  I live in France full time with the children. My husband is in the film industry and is employed in the UK.  We are considered French residents but he is not. This was confirmed by our local Hotel des Impots when we lodged our first french tax return. Just because your husband will be french resident doesn't mean you will be. We have an E109 which is what you need when one partner works in the UK and the other partner/family are resident in another EU country.  I thought an E106 was for when both partners were below retirement age but had moved to another EU country. The E106 is then valid for 2 years providing you have paid enough NI contributions.  An E106 may or may not, depending on your departement, make you eligible for a Carte Vitale. If you are not, you will get a paper Attestation which you hand to the doctor, pharmacist, etc. The E109 is renewable every year and it covers myself and the children for all healthcare in France the same as a French person, but my husband doesn't have any right to healthcare here and must use his EHIC, although our Mutuelle accepted him for top up insurance.  I can't see how you could be eligible for an E106 as we were told we weren't and your situation appears to be the same as ours. Hope this helps Melanie

Our pond was practically drained last year as a result of all the underground tunnels the coypu have made. I think they are very destructive and wouldn't want them around.   Melanie

At the age of 21 I left the UK and moved to the Middle East. My parents didn't come too? Why would they? I was an adult and didn't need my parents to babysit me. By the time my children finish their education in France they won't be children and will, hopefully, be ready and willing to make their own way in the world.  If that means they move back to the UK I don't see that it means that I have to go too.        

Are they sent out automatically or do we have to advise the tax office we are here?  Its our first year and I'm a bit confused about what we need to do. Thanks

Hi I know you posted this a few months ago but as you rarely see mention of E109s I thought I would ask. Did you get Carte Vitales? We are here on an E109 and were told we could not get carte vitales, just an attestation saying we were covered. This mentioned all of us, including our children.  How long is your E109 valid and can you get it renewed? Thanks Melanie
