RESIDENCE - how to apply and required documents

Attention: If you move your residence to Italy, you will no longer be covered by your National Health Service and your EHIC will no longer be valid abroad. Therefore, before moving your residence make sure that you can obtain an European “S1” form or a substitute form from the healthcare institution providing insurance coverage in your home country.
