Health in Galway


Health care in Galway, as in all of Ireland, is expensive (consultation of 40 to 60€). It is therefore important to have your European Health Insurance Card and to take out additional insurance to be reimbursed for all your health costs.

EU citizens are covered in Ireland by their European health insurance card. As long as you hold this card, you will be treated as an Irish citizen in health care, whether you are visiting or staying permanently. Make sure you make the request well in advance, while you receive it. The request is made to Ameli Santé.

Emergency number: Police, Fire, EMS: 112 or 999

      I believe that what is necessary is well summarized. Remember to apply for a European health insurance card (it's free!)
      Regarding consultations, I never needed one, but it seems that they take a long time to obtain (in Dublin). I advise you to take basic medicines in your luggage in case of small sores, Ibuprofen, Doliprane, Pain killers, Spasfon etc ... There are pharmacies here, as in France and certain medicines (eg Strepsile) are available in supermarkets -Romane

This depends on the type of Tier 4 sponsor type you choose. Per week means a 7-day period starting on a Monday, so if you work with irregular hours or have more than one employer, you will need to keep detailed records of how many hours you work each day in order to ensure you do not exceed the limit.  "Term time" means the period when your Tier 4 sponsor expects you to be studying, and "vacation" means the period when your Tier 4 sponsor does not require you to be studying. These dates are usually set out on an education provider's website or in the course information it gives you, and employers are required to check them. The Tier 4 guidance for Home Office caseworkers (modernized guidance) confirms that you can work full time in the period before your course starts as well as
