Travel Insurance??

I am a UK resident and I shall be going to The Republic of Ireland for 11 months.

What type of insurance do I need?

Many Thanks.

    I will be staying with friends and may do some unpaid work around the house.

    come on,

    Is this unpaid work in exchange for your board and lodge.

    So you are not on holiay, you will be doing work for a remuneration, albeit not cash.

    So yu will not need travel insurance.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    No it is not a holiday.

    I was thinking of insurance for medical expenses, should anything happen and I need to see a GP or visit a hospital.

    I have the EHIC card but thought that I may need additional insurance.

    Just register with a doctor when you get over there and you will be find, same with dentist etc.

    Just treat it as you are living there, which in fact you are. Why particularly 11 months, most people would say about a year.

  • Travel insurance is very much important than any other insurance. many people deeply regret not taking out travel insurance. But every one shoul take travel insurance it is also very important to us. Travel insurance policy covers Medical and health cover for an injury or sudden illness abroad – more infomation on medical and health cover. 24 hour emergency service and assistance. Personal liability cover in case you’re sued for causing injury or damaging property. Lost and stolen possessions cover. Cancellation and curtailment (cutting short your trip) cover. Extra cover for activities that are commonly excluded from standard policies, such as jet skiing

    Yes, but only if you are going on holiday.
    The OP is going to live there
