Frequently Asked Question?

Answers are based on the IPID, policy wording, user guide and Digital Doctor document included on this site.

What is this insurance?

It is a medical expenses travel insurance group policy for international students. It provides benefits for specific covered events (for example emergency medical expenses, repatriation, hospital benefit, personal liability) and is not the same as Irish private health insurance.

How much medical cover do I have?

Emergency medical, repatriation and other expenses are covered up to €10,000,000 per insured person (see the benefit schedule on the Coverage page).

Do I need to pay an excess?

The policy schedule lists an €80 excess per incident/section under most sections (for example rearrangement, emergency medical, personal liability).

Is this guaranteed to be accepted for IRP/visa registration?

No one can guarantee acceptance because requirements and interpretation can change. StudySafe provides the certificate and full policy documents so you can show what is covered. Always follow your school and official Irish immigration guidance.

Are pre‑existing conditions covered?

Generally, existing medical conditions are not covered unless listed as acceptable in the policy wording. You must comply with the “Important Conditions Relating to Health”.

What if I buy insurance after I have already arrived?

The IPID states a mandatory 14‑day waiting period if you purchase after leaving your home country while already on your trip and/or after your trip has started. During this waiting period, no coverage applies.
