Hi guys do I need private health insurance if I'm applying for the ID card as self sufficient or is the uk/eu link enough?

If so can any one guide me to cheap insurance as I don't want to pay over the odds if someone knows of very reasonable

insurance?

Please pm me with any details so it doesn't become an advert.

Thanks in advance Jay.

Thanks Antonio.

I missed that one,

So as Smeddie says the reciprocal health agreement should suffice? Only asking as several others are still talking about the insurance.

If you have a British passport then the reciprocal health agreement is accepted for residency, yes.

Cheers guys although being a first time resident application it says

*Persons who are not yet in possession of a residence certificate/permit may still apply for this scheme
but will be covered on a provisional basis.

Is this still sufficient? Why soooo many laters of cr*p

yes it is true until you get the formal pukka cert from the entitlement unit - we have had this for 5 yrs now - as they renew it very two years

So sorry Toon is it still possible to get the provisional cover from the reciprocal agreement and this is still acceptable ? I don't quite understand. Being a first time applicant.

Sorry about yesterday's result as well my housemate hasn't stopped crying yet and has burned his stripey shirt

yes of course - you must go to the entitlement unit in valletta - just take your passport - they will give you a temp cert.

as for the toon = we are used to it by聽 now - its the price you pay for employing 7 frenchmen devoid of heart and soul not to mention commitment or ideas.......

Mick I knew it was mick but predictive text decided you looked like a Mike.

I think it's because you have a large head and long body and people sing at you
