Emily is a female student who will attend a major school in Australia in February this year. Originally, according to the process, she should now appear at the school O Week scene, meet with friends in the school community, and start her three-year college life.
At the moment, however, Emily sat restlessly in the office of a study agent and cried, "I didn't mean it."
Emily did not even think that he just temporarily lost his mind, returned his own health insurance for international students, but was convicted by the Immigration Board serious illegal, faced with a repatriation warning!
Things are very simple: after Emily came to Australia, because of housing, deposit and other reasons, there is not enough money on her hands, and she was embarrassed to reach out to her parents for money;
Suddenly remembered his health insurance needs $550,500 a year, so Emily simply refunded the insurance, with a refund of more than 1000 dollars to pay the house deposit, but within a few days received a call from the Immigration Service!
Emily remembered that he still regretted it: "before I saw those brothers and sisters in the school group, they said, it's no use buying health insurance to see GP. It's not as good as a panadol to cure all kinds of diseases. I also thought that when the money was refunded, I could pay enough deposit." But I didn't think of it. "
However, no matter how much regret, Emily must bear the consequences of his own mistakes.
You think it's safe? Use it to kill you!
It is well known that those who are not citizens of the PR or Australia's welfare reciprocal countries who enter the country with a specific visa must take out health insurance during the validity of the visa.
These visas include, but are not limited to:
- Overseas students visa: foreign student insurance (Overseas Student Health Cover), must be held while in Australia, if it is accompanied by a visa is also required;
- Student guardian visa: parents who accompany their minor children to study in Australia must also hold overseas insurance (Overseas Vistor Health Cover);
- Class 485 graduate visa: when foreign students transfer 485 graduation visa, do not forget to buy the corresponding insurance during the bridge A visa, ensure "seamless docking" after the expiration of your previous OSHC insurance, otherwise may be rejected!
- 457 work visa: both visa applicants and family members are required to have OVHC overseas insurance while in Australia;
- 400 temporary work visas, 403 temporary work visas, 407 training and research visas, 408 temporary activity visas;
- At the same time, if you are holding a 600 visitor visa, especially a long-term 600 visa held by Australian citizen / PR parents, if the holder is over 75 years of age, you must take out OVHC overseas insurance during the period of validity of the visa.
Here I would like to remind you once again that if, like the Emily mentioned above, you withdraw your insurance because it is "useless", or if you do not renew your contract after the expiration of the insurance, it would be a serious breach of the visa treaty. Immigration will directly launch a personal credit review!
For example, in the Immigration Service's recent content on long-term visas for parents, it is clear in black and white that:
On the next application, the Immigration Board will ask the applicant to provide evidence of prior medical insurance. In other words, if you forget to renew your visa during the validity period, the Immigration Board may refuse to issue a visa next time!
Don't buy insurance when you go to Australia, be careful because of the big mistake.
In addition, in the health considerations, the Australian Weekly newspaper suggests: even if the elderly are under 75 years of age, long-term visitors visa to visit relatives in Australia, it is best to buy insurance!
Last year, the Australian Weekly reported that a Chinese old lady went to Australia to visit her relatives, crossed the road directly in Burwood Hwy, and was hit directly by a normal left-turn vehicle!
Later, the grandmother was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment due to pelvic bone, broken ribs, and bleeding from the lungs and brain, and was taken to the ICU ward.
Since she was not 75 years old when she arrived in Australia, she did not have health insurance in Australia, and her family could not reimburse her for medical expenses.
Elderly people who are unable to return to their homes can only spend $4500 a day in ICU wards because of the high cost of treatment, and families even have to consider selling apartments they use to rent in city to cover the cost of the elderly.
From these stories, we can see that in Australia, health insurance is not just about money, visas, personal credit,
Even if you don't buy health insurance in Australia, it's very likely to cause a life-threatening event!
So, readers, be careful!
