Hi everyone,
I have just heard from Health Age in Spain who have informed me that the requirements for health cover were changed in December last year - and since then the S 1 form is now accepted as proof of health cover for a visa or residency application.
Regards

On the downside apparently you can't get an EHIC so aren't covered outside Spain and not even when visiting UK so will be charged there if you don'thave insurance (unlike all other Europeans with an EHIC including pre Brexit UK citizens)

Good point, also I note when UK left EU the S1 issue was being stopped, many pensioners left to beat the deadline, I'm surprises they are now issuing again? That was not the plan, strange.
