Insurance
An insurance policy is mandatory for all participants on the program. Insurance can be booked through the Work in Ireland Program at time of application and the costs are as follows:

Duration Cost
1 Month $125
2 Months $167
3 Months $220
4 Months $265
5 Months $322
6 Months $374
7 Months $425
8 Months $476
9 Months $527


Please note that one month’s insurance covers you from the 1st to the 30th (or 31st) of the month. If you are departing in the middle of a month, you will be buying insurance for the whole month. For example, if you purchased insurance from June 28st to August 2nd, you will actually require 3 months insurance, because you are travelling in June, July and August. If you just want 2 months insurance, your dates would have to be June 1st to July 31st. Please keep this in mind when entering your arrival and departures dates for Ireland.

Your work authorization will entitle you to remain in Ireland for 5 months in total. This is divided into 4 months work / 1 month travel. You must keep the one month travel for the end of your stay. Please be aware that you are required to have insurance for the full duration of your time abroad.

Should you wish to purchase alternative insurance, you must submit an insurance indemnity form at the time of application along with an administration fee of $30.
6 WEEK MINIMUM PROCESSING PERIOD:
This is based on the understanding that you will send the documents listed above in within one week to USIT Work and Travel Ireland. If you fail to get these documents to USIT in time, if you wish to arrive within six weeks in Ireland you will have to pay the FED-EX overnight fee equalling €70.
