saying that, its always a good idea to have medical insurance.1) visa application form (click here)
2) one recent colour passport-size photo;
3) passport or travel document valid for at least three months after visa expiry date, with at least two adjacents blank pages to affix the visa sticker;
4) copy of the EU or European Economic Area citizen’s identity document or passport along with a declaration requesting the presence of the family member in Italy and swearing to be in possession of the requisites foreseen by the law;
5) administrative documentation (marriage certificate, full birth certificate, etc.) attesting to the familial relationship. In the case of minor children, written permission from the child's other parent for the visa to be issued (see our website "Visa for Minor").
No need for travel insurance if you are the spouse of an EU citizen. You should get EHIC cards for both of you though.vik123 wrote:i have just gone with direct travel insurance http://www.direct-travel.co.uk/faq/how- ... ident.aspx. all others i came across specified you have to have been living in the uk for 6 months
If you are traveling at the end of October, the timing may work to apply for UK passport now. You usually get documents back within 2 weeks of applying and passport soon after that.vik123 wrote:2. I got my certificate of naturalistion as a british citizen last month however I have not applied for a british passport yet and will not be doing so prior to this holiday (i have a canadian passport). We are applying for my wifes italian visa based on her being a spouse of an eu national. I'm slightly worried about the fact that I dont have a uk passport yet - taking my certificate to the appointment with the italian consulate should be fine i hope???
The EHIC does not replace travel insurance. In fact, the cheap offers out there require the insuree to have the EHIC with them while travelling.Directive/2004/38/EC wrote:No need for travel insurance if you are the spouse of an EU citizen.

I should say that there is no legal requirement to have travel insurance in order to get a visa if you are a family member of an EU citizen.86ti wrote:The EHIC does not replace travel insurance.
