Thank you! "Gee, I wonder if anyone's seen this announcement. I'll post it on every group site I know. I don't know what that little magnifying glass icon is, better ignore it."

Skype?

We have Cigna global and they also were able to provide a letter stating coverage, including covid coverage

Had many friends use them, some just last week even.

Yes. At least they did for us.

@Abel ********

Yep, that's the one

Yep. It was an STV (aka, the dead-end visa 🙂 ). I needed to get a special foreign insurance certificate from my company, and their coverage letter had to be very specific about coverage amounts. Took a little doing, but Cigna came through. Won't say it was easy, but glad there were options. But I'm with you, hoping requirements loosen as we go forward to encourage tourism. Now if they'll just allow the STVs to be converted in-country...it's just a push of a button on come computer somewhere, right??

FWIW, I got in on my initial STV earlier this yer, and back again later on a Non-O (with a dash home in between) using a foreign health insurance plan - Cigna Global. Well, maybe the fact that it's their global health insurance made the difference, dunno.

Yeap. We left, not having used all our STV time, and will be heading back shortly under a "retirement" visa. No issues getting that new visa.

Nope, never have been asked for the results. Find a doctor friend or relative who can knock it out for free 🙂
