FAQ · Q132
Can I use an EHIC or GHIC in Russia?
No — EHIC and GHIC are not valid for medical coverage in Russia; arrange separate travel medical insurance and payment methods appropriate to your trip.
No — EHIC and GHIC do not provide appropriate medical cover in Russia. These cards are intended for certain public healthcare systems in specific countries and do not substitute travel medical insurance or direct payment arrangements while in Russia. Before travel arrange a separate travel medical policy and any means to pay for care, and check the insurer’s assistance options; a commercial policy or the DEMO product on this site may differ from official healthcare entitlements.
