Not all travel insurance is created equal
EHICs are still being issued and renewed in some cases, but only to certain groups of people. These include EU nationals and citizens of Switzerland, Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein who have legally resided in the UK since before 1 January 2021, and some British state pensioners who started living in one of these countries before 1 January 2021. New UK EHICs extend cover to Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein.
As part of the application process you’ll be told which card you’re entitled to - so it’s likely that when you tried to renew your EHIC you did in fact apply for a GHIC. It usually takes about 10 working days to get your card, but the government says current waiting times are around double that. You’ve been waiting a lot longer, so it’s worth contacting the GHIC helpline on 0300 330 1350 to see if you can find out what’s happening.
