    Seeking latest on long-stay visa requirement

    Hi all. I'm getting ready to extend my O-A visa for the fourth consecutive year. Wondering if the requirements for local health insurance I've read about have kicked in yet. Also, my 1-year apartment lease just expired and I'm taking my time looking for a new place. Does not having a 1-year lease agreement preclude me from getting the extension? Can I put the hotel I'm using? Thanks -

    Correction - extend my STAY, not the visa (as I have been well-admonished in previous posts) ;-)

    No reports of any medical insurance requirements (less the O-X 5y by 5y) yet. Can't answer concerning lease, intepretation of requirements is always "at the discretion of the IO".

    Good luck.

    You or your missus should phone the '1178 Immigration help-line'. Get it from the horses mouth. I get my missus to phone.

    No missus. And not inclined to get one solely for that purpose. But appreciate the tip.

    Yes but the hotel or you must file a TM30. It can be done on line.
