    Hi,

    I work offshore in the uk month on month off and i pay full tax and national insurance contributions in the uk, on my month off i come back to ireland so i would be classed as a resident of ireland,

    Now i know there is healthcare for frontier workers who work in northern ireland but live in the south would this be the same in my case that i live in ireland but i go to work in scotland?

    I was told by a friend i may be eligible for a medical card under some EU entitlement without a means test?

    Anybody any ideas?

    Yes, you are a frontier worker no matter what other EU country you are working in.

    TBH, you might need to google some more about this issue yourself. I'm guessing there won't be too many of such workers posting in State Benefits, where they know most about medical cards.
