James Miller what happens if you overstay other than a fine? Is it a big deal to overstay by one day?

@Steve ******

Thank you so much. I wasn't sure if it was per calendar year or a year from my first crossing.

Thank you

This is really good to know!

Thank you all for your input! I spent tens of hours researching travel insurance before I left and the options are annoyingly slim for long term travelers. Most policies require you to have a return flight. Finding policies that cover rock climbing (sport climbing) adds an additional challenge. IMG was one of very few that covered those things but I didn't realize helicopter evac wasn't included. I'll look into the American Alpine Club to see what I can find for additional coverage during the months that I'll be climbing.

I don't forsee any serious injury, but I want to have my bases covered because you never know. Climbing is inherently risky

I do have insurance, I just hadn't thought about med evac as an option. I use IMG's Patriot International with adventure sports rider added on. Haven't had to make a claim yet, so I hope it's good! ...Or that I never have to make one, haha

That's a good point - I guess a good insurance plan would be able to cover something like that!
