6 months will be hard to find.
You can look serviced apartments which give you the flexibility you want. But it is a price issue.
Serviced you need to bring nothing but yr personal stuff. It's furnised, equipped, gets cleaned.
It doesn't say anywhere that she was going to fly on immediately. Not all airlines have agreements to check the bags through. She wld have to get the bag & re-check in i.e. pass immigration. How on earth do you rip a p.port page.
I once applied from Austria but took a flight from a German airport. No problem.
They could have insisted to fly from Austria (Vienna).
The rule had been for many years that you had to apply from your country of residence. May be this was the problem with Paris?
I don't know which hospital it is. The one on Soi 3 did video the procedure my husband had done ( just a hernia). If it is the same hospital, video evidence shld be available. I asume videos are done for a reason.
Nobody knows the background of the story. There are situations where people piss the other party off. Israelis aren't known for being polite & respectful. Talking from experience.
A Thai doctor once told me not to bother with local insurers as they will always wriggle out of their responsibility. I'm with Axa UK which many don't like but so far I had no issue. All done through a local broker.
I was always of the same opinion about insurance being waste of money. While on holiday in Austria last year I ended up in hospital with low sodium level post food poisoning. 2 nights in a single room, 3 lots of drips & bill came to 8000€. No other treatment.
All was paid by insurer. No argument.
