Travel insurance is far different than what they are actually wanting. Besides $50k for a holiday person? Now if you are staying here long-term then of course health insurance is a good idea.... but "required"?

Lighten up. Covid is still here and until medical science produces a vaccine that immunizes us from even catching Covid and its mutations (the present vaccines can only protect you from needing further hospital stay). Simply put... we are all going to have to learn to live with things. Getting vaccinated is essential for everyone.

Right .... that is the start date....May 10.

thank God! But the numbers of patients are up which means at least here in the Kingdom the fear and desire to not loose the slightest amount of 'Face' will rule the day with regards to Covid. Well it just my take on it after 11 years here. I can hope I am wrong but I don't think .

Oh there will be more I fear.

@Lisa *******************

wait and see. Numbers are up.

Expensive is just the start. The paperwork... the $50k insurance and the 2 PCR tests once in country will justvadd to the joy.

yes it was .... well ... in many localities they had much smaller ones. But officially it was supposed to ha e been cancelled.

Wait. Hope for end April.... but water festival might be cancelled again for the third year... but jury on that is still out. Who knows what will happen..

You should be fine. Just have your entire passport pages copied on your phone... the more ... paperwork.... for them to see the more bored they will be. But picture page and Visa page and 90 day etc will what they will want to see. Have done it many times without issue. However! Be ready for the one plod that will be a problem and simply. Not know the rules suggest you get a letter from IM stating that you passport copies are real? But never heard on 10 years of that being done.
