Hi all - this one falls under the “and everything else” part of this group. Looking for short term health insurance for my parents (71 and 68) who will be here for 89 days from 2 Feb… any recommendations? Thanks in advance 🙏

ETA - they’re both Irish citizens and residents.

Go for a travelinsurance from the homecountry, that typical includes transport back to the homecountry, if needed in sewere ( or worse) cases, or to get relatives to Thailand.

hi Mark - thanks! As they live in Ireland it’s really only insurance to cover them while they’re here that I need. Can you assist with that also? Thanks 🙏

When we came over last year we used justcover.ie We are both in our late 60’s and early 70’s. We got 12 months cover and it was €230. We are from Cork.
