My daughter (18) has just moved to France to work as an au pair for the next 12 months. She is/was covered here by VHI policy and is covered while in France by the health system there.
My question relates to a scenario where she has a serious illness in France and we wish to bring her home to Ireland. While unlikely this did happen to a relation nearly 20 years ago (in Thailand) and cost a lot.
This situation does not appear to be covered under her VHI policy - which may not apply in any case as she is now not resident here (albeit on a shortish term basis). Is anybody familiar with this issue and if there are measures we can take to ensure we are covered if it happens.
Thanks in advance.
