Regarding the insurance requirement: I have travel insurance through my pension plan that covers me for 40 days out of the country. It gives 500K of emergency medical up to and including medivac. Would the "competent" authourities accept this in lieu of buying a hundred bucks worth on the ground? Documentation for it required? I don't know if the company that issues this would send me any sort of certified document I could show as proof.
No, it won't, their rules are now very clear "buy our insurance at USD 90.00", otherwise, you won't get admitted to the country. And do expect that USD 90.00 insurance to back-out, when it turns out, you have your own valid insurance, etc.
If you have your own insurance with minimum cover of USD50,000 you are NOT required to purchase the Forte insurance.
Yes and no, according the "rules" on
MFAIC the moment you fall in the category "not-locally-sponsored/invited with local payment guarantee" (IE, be a visitor of type III and IV), clause IVb applies, which states, "Purchase a health insurance package for Covid-19 treatment, with a cost of USD90 and is valid for 20 days". This insurance package can be purchased from FORTE Insurance Company that can be reached through xxxxx". And I do think, that'll apply to most people coming to K440 for information.
I do no see any exemption for people who already do have a proper travel insurance.
The practical implementation might be different, though the rules are as stated above.
If you do have references to the contrary, please provide.
