Hi, thank you for helping me answer the questions that I asked last night. Sorry if that was already answered in the past.

Now I am buying a health insurance plan as my current one expires soon. The plan I am buying does cover COVID and other medical emergencies. My question is - later when I convert my current visa to an ed visa or work permit, does it require any special requirements for a health insurance plan?

Thanks in advance.

You are asking about getting an extension of stay based on studying or employment. As of right now, an extension of stay based on studying or an extension of stay based on employment does not have any health insurance requirements.
