Health insurance and EHIC for UK and EU students
UK students abroad
The government has also put forward a proposition to maintain existing healthcare arrangements (EHIC coverage) even in a no-deal scenario. This will apply to UK students abroad until December 2020.
However, in the event of a no-deal, EHIC (European Health Insurance Cards) may no longer be valid for UK students travelling within the EU, which will mean that you’ll need to get health insurance when travelling abroad.
For advice refer to the NHS website as well as the FCO travel page for the most up-to-date information.
