Hello,
A very close relative is visiting me from Pakistan for couple of months. Their visa has been approved.
1. Do they really need travel health insurance? It seems it's one of the required documents at the Irish border- So I'm assuming answer is yes.
2. I'm finding it hard to find an insurer for them. They will be 75 at the time of travel- Any ideas or recommendations ?
Thank you
