Hello,

As a dual UK and Maltese national living in London I have always applied for my EHIC European Health insurance Card from here.

Obviously, after Brexit am no longer going to be able to do that, and I am wondering how I now go about applying for a card from Malta.

While I have a passport and identity number, I don't have an identity card (not being normally resident on the island). Looking at the government website, it seems that I have to travel to the island to first register for an identity card in order to then get an e-ID account in order to then apply for the card online.

Has anyone else had experience of this, and have you any pointers to maybe help me out?

Much appreciated

Gareth
