Introduction to overseas visitor and migrant cost recovery
This video by the Department of Health and Social Care explains the UK health care system for overseas visitors and migrants and highlights to whom charging regulations apply.
The UK and Switzerland have completed a transitional agreement to protect existing social security coordination arrangements. This means that the UK and Swiss citizens are now safeguarded whatever the circumstances of the UK’s exit from the EU.
If you’re covered by the EU Withdrawal Agreement, you may be able to apply for a new UK-issued EHIC, for example, if you’re an EU, EEA or Swiss national living in the UK by 31 December. Check here if you can apply for a new UK-issued EHIC.
