I am a pensioner retiring to another EU country. How can I get access to healthcare abroad?
As a pensioner settling in another EU country, you have full access to healthcare in your new country of residence, on the same terms as nationals of that country. You should ask for an S1 form (from your national health insurance body) in the country that pays your pension. You should then register using this form with the health insurance body in your new country of residence.
