And different requirements for France and Spain - madness I tell you! Madness!Aye Jeff, I got a letter today from my car insurance company reminding me of the probable need for green cards ( last used circa 1974?) and international driving licenses if travelling off this little island. How many people actually know that or how to get them?
Strangely I wasn't thinking of driving to St Jean. However......
It's not a question of "may" - alas - but will.Just be careful when making your plans. From 1st Jan 2021 you will probably need to ensure you have over six months left on your passport. We will need to adhere to the EU visiting rules which require this.
Also, though still not certain, our E111 health cards may cease to be valid, so keep an eye open for any changes in that respect . You may need to consider adding the purchase of medical insurance with repatriation as part of your forward planning.
We may also be limited to the number of days in any rolling period that we can actually stay in the whole of the EU.
Seemingly since these health rules applied before we joined the EU and they may actually keep them in place. Both we and the EU have reciprocal health care with many countries outside the EU.It's not a question of "may" - alas - but will.
A small word of caution here. It's important to be clear about it. I would urge everyone from the UK to get travel insurance for healthcare for any stay in a EU country as of 1 January 2021. This is the current state of affairs:Seemingly
One of my students today told me you got them from the Post Office. I haven’t verified....Aye Jeff, I got a letter today from my car insurance company reminding me of the probable need for green cards ( last used circa 1974?) and international driving licenses if travelling off this little island.

I guess it is the same for French passport holders who live in the UK?See also the UK government's guidance, for example Healthcare for UK nationals visiting Spain, last updated on 9 November 2020.
As things stand at the moment, EHIC cards are finito in 2021 for UK passport holders who live in the UK and travel to Spain after 1 January.
It is a tragedy for EU Remain/Camino Brits. So sad. However, I will return to my beloved Camino next year.Just be careful when making your plans.

There will be new rules/rights for EU nationals who live in the UK under the new ‘settlement status’ and their visits to EU countries and their health insurance cover. It is explained on the UK government’s website, see the link that I had posted earlier in this thread: Healthcare for UK nationals visiting Spain, last updated on 9 November 2020. Despite the title, the linked page has also information for non-UK nationals from the UK and visiting Spain.But if you find out differently let me know.
