If you got somethingvfor $150 a year that doesnt cover existing conditions use it.

The cancilleria doesnt care aboout that.

All they want to see is a minimum amount about around $90,000 for emergency and repatriation you dead or.alive to your home country

In reality all these bogus health insurance policies are just bureacratic documents that have the.weasle words to satisfy te Cancilleria visa agent, but they are all pretty much fake, and good luck ever making a real vcaim with them. That includes tge more expensive programs like AssistCard.

Common really,a prgram giving you $100 K coverage for $150 a year with emergency repatriation to your home country? Obviously fake , but if it satisfies the cancilleria visa agent, thsts all that matters.

I used ATM Colombia and it worked. It was about $360 a year ago. For a year.

If the medical company gives you a certificate and the general policy TsandCs that should be good enough. Dont include any information saying you.personally have preexisting confitions.

A word of caution. If you want a visa longer than one year, get a health care policy with a duration of 2 years or more..

If you get only a 1 year xuration certificate,  they might give you a visa for only one year. At least thats what happened to me, with a Rentista  Visa

Allthough if you apply with a 2.year  duration health policy, there is no guarantee  they will give youva 2 year visa, or even any visa period.

Also with a pensionada visa I think you need a medical examination saying you are sound.

If you cant get one that doesnt mention pre existing conditions  ( hopefully you can)?in your home country, get one done in Colombia.

Thanks for the info Nico!  I am going with Starr Travel Insurance medical only for $120 /year covers $50K medical expense and $100K repatriation.  Got my clean bill of mental and physical health from a Colombian doctor friend with no mention of pre-existing conditions.  Cost was a nice bottle of wine.  I will be filing on Monday so wish me luck! 

I got some insurance quotes from 2K and upwards per year which is just crazy for something I never intend to use.   Same for apostille services got quoted $500 times two and shopped around and paid about $225 total from Monument Visa ,whom I highly recommend.  Same for translation services.  Paid less than $50 with one day turnaround versus a quote for $300 with one week turnaround.

In Kazakhstan these things Cost a bit more..a bottle of vodka

Good news I got approved today for the pensionado rentista Visa.  That was fast you say...Yes I am a bit surprised.  I will make a new post with more details but just wanted to say thanks to those who responded!
