I am applying for reciprocal healthcare from UK govt.
Possibly an E106.
They would like to know my address in Bg.
But all I have is the name of the hamlet and the name of the nearest village.
is this normal for Bg? Anyone had problems with such a slight address or do you use post office boxes?

Does a European Health Insurance Card not cover you for this?

The EHIC lasts for I think 5 years and is free. but it is intended for travellers and not meant to be permanent but I see you can renew it. so I imagine so long as you dont tell your gp your leaving for good I think it would be ok.

I'm in BG now looking at properties been here 2 weeks and back to UK on Friday and hoping my house sells quick

Been looking around the villages in the Veliko Tarnovo area mainly. This is my second visit this year. and must have looked at 20-30 properties/villages. Hopefully I'll get my house sold soon and be able to move

i think that any EHIC is only valid for tourists and NOT residents. Its meant to cover only emergency healthcare whilst on holiday. so i guess for the first three months you might be ok - has bulgaria not got a reciprocal healthcare agreement scheme same as malta has with UK. for us we just applied to our entitlement unit here in valletta - by the way we are considering a move to bulgaria so have been reading the comments with interest
