European Health Insurance Card

The European Health Insurance Card documents that you are entitled to necessary medical treatment during temporary stays in other EEA countries or in Switzerland. You are entitled to treatment on a par with the citizens of the country where you are staying. The card will be sent to the address registered in the National Population Register. If you are registered as resident abroad, you cannot order the health insurance card here. We recommend that you carry the card during travel in the EEA area and Switzerland. Persons resident in the Nordic countries do not have to use the card when seeking medical treatment in other Nordic countries.
