Jameister Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Hi There I have now been approved the 457 visa and one of the requirements that my migration consultant is asking for is a comprehensive travel insurance that would cover until the I arrive in Australia. Can anyone advise on what insurance I would need to get? I'm assuming something like a single trip with enough end time to cover arrival and bit more in Australia? Thanks in advance Jamie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouDYorkie Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Our MA told us to get proper 457 visa compatible medical cover. (You can search that on the web). I wanted to look for something like a travel policy but was told that it could be rejected and then I'd have to pay twice effectively. Once we are in Australia, I'll re-assess and see whether Medicare is sufficient (reciprocal arrangement) or whether we still want to keep our new policies too.

Oh ok , my migration consultant told me 'comprehensive' is fine and then to get Medicare after I've entered Australia, the insurance is just to cover between applying and entering the country. I was just thinking along the lines of single trip 2 months with sufficient cover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouDYorkie Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 All I have to go on is what I was told. Maybe some others on here can give advice too? I did see someone on a 2008 post say they'd only got travel insurance but I thought (don't quote me) that I'd also seen that since then the requirement on level of cover had changed. Anyway, I didn't pursue that route because I just wanted the visa quickly (ha ha considering its still not arrived!!) Hope you get some better answers once the Australians start logging on! Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with your 457 btw It's a Migration Agent, I call him that but it's actually the company nominated solicitor in Melbourne we are using. I think he's done it before!?! :worried: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
