I am of the understanding that health insurance needs to be purchased prior to applying for the visa. In my case the health insurance documents need accompany all other required documents when applying for the visa. My visa type will be Non O-A (long stay).

- Yes, understand that. Prior to Covid you only needed travel insurance with TRs. Maybe it has changed.Steve *******
@Graham *******
You didnt even need travel insurance prior to Covid
Jim ********
@Graham *******
depends on the visa maybe because it wasn’t required for the tourist visa Jim ********
COE - Certificate of Entry??
Stuart *********
@Jim *******
yes. 
Ryan ********
Test results and f2f must be issued within 72 hours of flight. Test can be taken outside the 72 hour window.

@Ryan *******
Are you sure about test? I thougt time of 72 start when you make the testRyan ********
@Γιώργος ***********
as long as the results are issued within 72 hours of your flight you are good. Some places are so busy testing you can’t get your results in 1-3 days. So you’d chance not getting the results in time for the flight. I’ve heard of some places taking 5-7 days for results.
