suzi04 Posted February 13, 2002 Share Posted February 13, 2002 Form E111 is for visitors, or people on holiday. If you're going to live in France, you can apply for an E106 to tide you over until you get a job in France & then enter their health care system (I don't know if this is what you plan to do). You can get the form for an E106 by phoning 0191 218 7547 (I've just done it!) & I think they issue them with a fixed lifetime of up to 2 years (not sure what happens then). I don't see how an existing condition would affect the type of health care you're entitled to, here or in France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anton Redman Posted February 13, 2002 Share Posted February 13, 2002 Our 'local' Haute Vienne hospital bent the rules to continue to treat a freind of ours on their E111 when in theory they should have demanded and E106.I beleive that until a condition is judged cronic you still have to pay a perentage of the cost of treatment.
