When the EU entry-exit system takes effect on 12 October, passengers on Eurostar will be asked if they have pre-booked accommodation, a return ticket, enough money for their stay – and medical insurance.
The requirement for proof of insurance goes beyond the standard demands for travellers entering the Schengen area. It is likely to alarm passengers who have chosen not to take out medical insurance, relying instead on the reciprocal health cover provided by the UK Global Health Insurance Card (Ghic).
