Umm, if his OA visa is valid until

*****

/2022, then it is already expired, and worthless. He needs a brand new one, and meet all the requirements he did before. He does need insurance for the whole time he is here after he again gets his OA visa. He is also looking at two different insurances. He needs health insurance for his OA visa, and then it must specifically say it covers covid. It he is coming in in May then it should be down to US$10,000 covid coverage, but that hasn't been published yet in the Royal Gazette making it official. US$20,000 if that isn't changed with the other May 1st changes
