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.

FAQ

Q: How much coverage is required? A: A minimum health coverage of USD 50,000 (Source: BZ_LONGSTAY_IMMIG_2026; verified 2026-06-13).

Q: How does the USD amount compare to my policy? A: The engine converts both to a common currency, so only a documented limit at or above USD 50,000 clears it.

Q: Why are some products UNKNOWN? A: Products that document no overall limit are not assumed to clear the floor.
