Definition
Health insurance coverage is evidence that a person will have access to medical care without leaving the state or the provider exposed to unpaid costs. Immigration routes may require private insurance at the visa stage, public insurance after employment begins, or proof that both periods will be covered without gaps. The exact standard varies by country and route, and authorities often distinguish between travel insurance, emergency-only insurance, and full local health coverage.
