If you’re healthy and not too old, insurance is pretty affordable. Unfortunately i wasn’t lucky with multiple pre existing conditions. Usually you only get a travel insurance from outside the country

I think insurance is not required for edu visa. If you get a new insurance policy to cover you in case you get sick, ok...but not required to extend your stay.

As Michael said, you don't have to spend a lot of money on health care here unless you go for fancy private hospitals.Michael ********
@Garry *****
not goverment hospitals or clinics. Fancy hospitals yes they can be expensive.Michael ********
Contact arawan namak or any other broker with your requirements. If you are not planning on leaving country you are not bound by the
Singapores is half that and health services costs there probably at least five times the cost.
Search arawan namak or i have one other broker
