menthe Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 The media have been mentioning these visa waivers for non-holders of EU passports when entering EU countries. Though I have no travel plans in mind this year and though I haven't visited the UK except for a brief 10 days in 2008, I do have walking holidays in Spain and Italy some years. So with my UK passport, does that mean that I would need these waivers when I go for my walking holidays next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crabtree Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 If you have a Carte De Sejour, then no. Just don't lose it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menthe Posted August 21 Author Share Posted August 21 Thanks, crabtree, I keep my cds with my carte vitale and also my credit card so if I am knocked over by a bus and get taken to hospital they can treat me without wondering if I am entitled to health care and if there is something to pay, the means to do it is there. I guess it's a variation of when you were told to always wear clean knickers in case of a bus hitting you by accident. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Do you take this too (or the UK equivalent) ? https://www.cleiss.fr/particuliers/ceam.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menthe Posted August 21 Author Share Posted August 21 I'm glad you've mentioned that, Norman. I had renew the EHIC once just telephoning so I did the same thing a couple of years ago for myself and OH. He got a new card but I never had mine. Must look into this matter again though I have not had cause to use it or need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
