Healthcare in Monaco 

Monaco is not a member of the EU so reciprocal medical arrangements with the EU do not apply. 

The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) or UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) are not accepted in Monaco. Make sure you have adequate travel health insurance and accessible funds to cover the cost of any medical treatment and repatriation.
