Tyson Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 passport? ooops I have that There will be an official one. so why bother making your own? Because I don't have the luxury of waiting til a few weeks before to find I need things I don't have the money for or can't get on short notice, I also have to make sure I have enough money for other payments that will be coming out.

CJ Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Mr SupraManUK - I am assuming you have never done a trip like this before? You are coming across as someone who is more excited than a virgin on his first visit to a brothel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 There will be an official one. so why bother making your own? I think I will wait for that one too. That one will be from those who have been there, done that and worn the tee shirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branners Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Used to be called the E111, but called something different now. Watch out for the sites that will do the application for you and charge you. It is a free application and this is the URL. I just did mine. https://www.ehic.org.uk/Internet/home.do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
