EHIC while interrupting studies? [closed]
3
I'm a German citizen and a student in the UK. I'm currently interrupting my studies for half a year and I'm planning to live in Germany for that time. Do you know if EHIC will still cover me during this kind of stay?

This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:

Germany doesn't have a single payer health care system like the UK. A German health insurance is quite a costly thing if you're not enrolled as a student in Germany.

No, it's "different than your country of residence". The NHS doesn't really care whether I have a UK citizenship or not. Finding out what's my country of residence seems to be harder than I thought, though. I'm enrolled in Britain and I will most likely return there. But also, I'm not really only on holiday here in Germany.

Isn't the question really if the NHS still covers you? My understanding is that the EHIC card itself is just to let the different systems bill each other, and that the really important thing is that you are enrolled.
