Insurance for "Non -Residents"

elhal

Hi all,

I work away for over half the year(6 weeks home 6 weeks away) and holidays on top of that, for taxation person I am classed as non-resident. So Im finding it impossible to get travel or wedding insurance and other insurances for that matter. Can anyone suggest somewhere who are willing to deal with individuals such as myself? or a way around this clause!!!

You must be resident somewhere, so why not buy whatever cover you need there?

I am interested in the answer to this question too.

Henry I live in ireland, I have a house and family here but..... I am only in ireland for 280 days over a 2 year period which therefore counts me as non resident. I work at sea, so Im not in any particular country when I am away.... so no... I am not resident anywhere!

According to Revenue rules, if you are in Ireland for at least 280 days over a two year period, you are regarded as resident for the second year.

Hognef Im in Ireland for LESS than 280 days over every 2 year period...... so Im never resident! so 2010/2011 2011/2012 etc etc.

Being resident for taxation purposes isn't exactly the same as being resident for insurance purposes. Speak to broker, explain it in details and i am sure you will be able to get insurance.
