Am weighing up the possibilites of moving to Ireland. As an Irish/UK citizen and in receipt of a German state pension this should not be a problem under EU law. I should be entitled to a Medical Card there because of reciprocal arrangements. (Optional to take out private if wanted.)
From krankenkassen.de site:
"Pensioners with statutory health insurance:
German pensioners are and remain members of the German pension insurance system..... .. German pensioners who settle in other EU countries continue to be entitled to medical treatment in their home country."
I'm puzzled as to whether I would have to continue to pay into the German KK or whether that would cease on deregistering from DE? Appreciate it if anyone knows!

Arunadasi did this - she had a load of hassle with the KK as I remember, but her citizenship(s) situation was different and I don't know what effect that had.

I think Pandamunich was helping her back in the day.

Hopefully one of them will come on and tell you useful stuff.

Thanks, just investigating pros and cons at the moment!
