Private medical insurance is a mandatory requirement for non-EU/EEA/Swiss/UK students in Ireland.
It is a condition of immigration registration and must be provided at initial visa application. You must maintain valid cover at all times and provide evidence of renewal annually. Cancelling a policy after registration is considered a breach of immigration conditions.
Proof of cover must be in English and show details of duration and benefits.
Travel insurance is not accepted beyond the first year.
