[QUOTE="JohnnieWalker, post: 103053, member: 853"] And a heads up that there is increasing evidence that due to the financial crisis in the country the health service in Spain seems to be seriously tightening up on providing free health care to foreigners. This is the advice we are giving volunteers from the UK and Ireland coming to live and work in Santiago. Those from other countries can consult the advice given by their own governments: [b]Travel advice[/b] Please look at the advice given by the British and Irish governments here: [url=http://www.dfa.ie/home/index.aspx?id=8545#travel]http://www.dfa.ie/home/index.aspx?id=8545#travel[/url] [url=http://ukinspain.fco.gov.uk/en/help-for-british-nationals/travel-advice/general-advice]http://ukinspain.fco.gov.uk/en/help-for ... ral-advice[/url] [b]Health care whilst working as a volunteer[/b] [b]European Health Insurance Card[/b] You should have a current European Health Insurance Card. Please check that the card you have is valid. Further information here: [url=https://www.ehic.org.uk/Internet/home.do]https://www.ehic.org.uk/Internet/home.do[/url] Please note that arrangements under form E111 have not been valid since 2006. [b]The European Health Insurance Card is not a substitute for Travel Insurance[/b]. It does not cover medical repatriation, on-going medical treatment or non-urgent treatment. [b]Travel Insurance[/b] You are strongly advised to take out appropriate Travel Insurance and to ensure that the company knows what you are going to be doing whilst working on the Amigos project. Both the British and Irish governments provide advice on Travel Insurance. Please follow the links above. I think that all of the above applies equally to pilgrims. [/QUOTE]
