You will need a travel insurance with repatriation coverage. I recommend https://www.axa-schengen.com/en.

At those ages, you can only get health insurance in Portugal, through MGEN, I think.

Unless you have a health insurance with an international company accepted in Portugal, with the health coverages @Nia mentions here.

@aimof I heard from an Expat who has lived in Portugal for five years that he has a low cost policy with Allianz.

@JohnnyPT this is for the visa submission. For that, he will need travel insurance. Once in Portugal he will need private health insurance. Those are two different things/ processes.
