ORIGINAL POSTER

If I use an O-A visa to enter, and buy health insurance, I must also buy covid insurance. Correct? How long a period of time must I buy covid insurance for? One month? One year?

TLDR : Answer Summary

When applying for an O-A visa, you must indeed purchase COVID insurance alongside your health insurance. The COVID insurance must cover the entire duration of your visa, not just a month or a year.
