Although summer has recently ended, that does not mean that we are not obliged, for work or pleasure, to go on a trip soon. At this point we sure want not to get upset or startled. A good way to avoid this is by keeping our European sanitary card.
It is very possible that this is just another of the many procedures that we must carry out before leaving on a trip abroad. However, we must bear in mind that in order to avoid later disappointments during the journeys we have to travel, renew our European Health Card or TSE is one of the most important. To carry out this process that we are telling you about, a few years ago we had to travel and wait in long queues. This is something that was extended to many other procedures and paperwork.
However, technology has allowed us to make great progress in this regard, so that at this time we have the possibility of performing many of these tasks on the Internet. In fact, next, we are going to show you how to renew our European Health Card online And without leaving home. First of all, we will tell you that this is a procedure that we can carry out through our favorite web browser completely free of charge.
Moreover, Social Security itself provides us with this renewal process of the European Health Card, although we recommend carrying out the process around 60 days before the expiration date of the current one.
What do I need to renew the European Health Card
Here the first thing we should know is that the TSE is a official document, Personal and non-transferable. It accredits the right to receive health care in the event that it is necessary during a temporary stay in European territory. In turn, we recommend that you make this renewal request a few days in advance. This means that we give it time before go on a trip to the European territory.
Well, to request the European Health Card from home, the first thing we will do is run our favorite internet browser, such as Chrome. From it we access the official Social Security page for these tasks.
Here we find two ways to apply for this card. In the event that we want it to reach us at the same postal address that we have registered with Social Security, we can make this request no certificate some. To do this we just have to click on the button Application without certificate. From there we will only have to fill out a form with the relevant personal data so that the new renewed card arrives in a few days.
But in the event that we want a different address to arrive, we will have to click on Request with certificate or SMS. The process is the same with the difference that here we will have to specify that mailing address And we’re going to need a electronic certificate or a Cl@ve. Obviously this will be used to digitally certify our identity and thus be able to send the new renewed European Health Card.
