Is ANYONE having luck with facilitating this? I have seen the pinned conversation on this topic at the top of the group. I'm trying to see if there is anyone who ACTUALLY was able to achieve this outcome. I've already talked with my insurance agent, the Concierge at my condo building and my local hospital - no luck getting it done BEFORE my visa expires on March 1st.
My [3x renewed STV/2x renewed Covid extension] visa expires March 1 and I got Covid and must quarantine until March 4th. Had PCR test done by nurse who came to my condo. Have not been able to arrange for Immigration notification/extension BEFORE my visa expires. [Before catching Covid, I was planning to go to Immigration this week for final Covid visa extension.]
Governmental Health agency that I report to says I will get medical certificate at THE END. No one is able to address getting someone to go to Immigration on my behalf BEFORE my visa expires.
I have AXA insurance, but, as of a February 15th rule change, they're not covering Covid unless I'm hospitalized. And I won't be hospitalized unless I'm showing moderate symptoms. So, there's no visa extension coverage through insurance (just spoke with my agent).
Any resources I'm missing?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The individual is facing challenges in extending their STV visa due to being quarantined with Covid while their visa expires on March 1. They have consulted with their insurance agent, condo concierge, and local hospital without success in facilitating an Immigration notification or extension before the expiration. The insurance does not cover extensions unless hospitalized, and they seek resources or contacts to assist them in this situation. Comments provide possible solutions, emphasizing the importance of working with the treating hospital and possible actions to take before going into overstayed status.
