How we evaluate
The checker compares each modeled requirement against product evidence. Two rules are encoded from the Department of Immigration page: insurance is mandatory, and the documented coverage limit must meet the USD 50,000 threshold. Because the threshold is in USD, the engine is currency-aware: it converts both the threshold and each product’s documented limit to a common currency before comparing. A product whose documented limit converts to at least USD 50,000 is GREEN; a product whose documents state no overall limit stays UNKNOWN rather than being assumed to clear it, following the UNKNOWN > Wrong principle. See /methodology/ for the full logic.
Proof package checklist
- A travel insurance certificate stating a health coverage limit of at least USD 50,000.
- A certificate showing the policy holder, policy number and coverage dates.
- Proof of residence and the remaining Long Stay Permit documents.
