School is back session and we at TravelersAlly hope that everyone had wonderful adventures traveling this summer. We have some housekeeping for school administrators, parents of exchange students, and foreign exchange students.
On May 2015, the J1 and J2 requirements changed for the medical coverage exchange visitors must have to keep their VISA status.
The Department of State requires that exchange visitors applying for a J Visa to have proof of health insurance coverage that meets the minimum requirements set by the ACA (Affordable Care Act). Also, any dependents such as children or spouses accompanying the exchange visitor must also be covered under a qualifying health plan during their time visiting the country.
We’ve provided a guide that explains the full set of J Visa requirements here:
If you would like to discuss your current medical coverage plan options or to verify if the J1 or J2 Visa regulations have been met, please give us a call at 1-866-971-7936 or check out our comprehensive coverage options here.
