I get a bit of grilling from immigration at times due to many stamps. I have been told to get visa before but never been denied. This time after checking for a free page to stamp they asked if I had an visa. I would think it depends on how many stamps you have and what reason you give. I said that I haven't been for 2 years so wasn't any follow up queries. To many exempts can cause issues in many destinations so saying it is not an problem I would disagree a bit because of my personal experiences. If you plan to stay long getting a visa is not an bad idea.
The time allocated is not per group... it was madness at the test centre due to what I presume is Russians crowding the entrance. They give out 200 if I would guess queue slots and rotate and there is only one test station so I would go late in the day or extremely early. Quite poor crowd management from the staff so be careful to not catch it while there. :/
When it was my turn it was smooth they confirm all documents and give you the bag same as airport.

Look for a annual that covers asymptomatic covid quarantine or hospital. The rest is just bonus and if it covers more for things that can occur during travel or longer stays that is just good for all involved.
