Vaccines and safety in Ireland
Vaccines and local diseases
No vaccinations are required for visitors. The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) certifies your entitlement to health insurance in Europe. During a temporary stay in a member state of the European Union, it entitles you to reimbursement of medically necessary treatment. We recommend that you take out additional insurance.
Safety in Ireland
Ireland is a safe country, but tourists can be victims of theft, especially in tourist areas. Thefts mainly occur in pubs, Internet cafés, buses, airport shuttles, youth hostels, parking lots at tourist attractions and on public roads. You should therefore remain vigilant and keep an eye on your personal belongings. And before you leave, don’t forget to consult the travel advice section of the France Diplomatie website.
Health and repatriation insurance in Ireland
Why take out international health insurance when traveling or living in Ireland? Quite simply because healthcare costs can quickly reach very high levels abroad. Repatriation cover is also an essential criterion. In the event of a serious accident, medical repatriation to the nearest medical center or to the country of residence may be necessary. Depending on where you are at the time of the accident, and the medical prognosis, it may be necessary to charter a helicopter or medical aircraft.
Mondassur can help you choose health insurance in Ireland by helping you compare the different offers on the market. Depending on your profile, we can offer you different types of travel insurance, international student insurance and expatriate insurance.
