I’ve been renewing my S1 online through the HMRC website for 10 years. While there were occasional issues, the process always worked eventually. This year, however, my foreign insurance agency offered to renew the S1 on my behalf—and after three months of silence, nothing has progressed. HMRC hasn’t even clarified whether the process has changed. The lack of information is frustrating. Thanks to this forum, I’ve discovered that I now need to complete form CA8421, though its title is misleading (the UK doesn’t cover healthcare if a significant amount of work is carried out abroad). For dependents, it seems CA8454 is required, and its title is equally confusing (suggesting eligibility only in cases like maternity leave). This situation is a disaster. My S1 has already expired, leaving us without healthcare coverage.
