It says on the application for the D7 that they require us to have private health insurance until we qualify for residency. I understand that but can we not use the GHIC card as that covers most of the treatments and is paid by our government. The reason I ask is that we have been quoted by various insures around £1,000 per month which is totally unaffordable.
And I quote
The UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) lets you get necessary state healthcare in EU countries, and some other countries, on the same basis as a resident of that country. This may be free or it may require a payment equivalent to that which a local resident would pay.
Many thanks
