@D@Doc67 great news and what a fantastic trip report, thank you for sharing.

Welcome back Doc

That's great news. Thanks for the write up. Welcome back!

So you reckon a regular health insurance or travel insurance that has pandemic exclusion clauses hidden away in the small print would get past ? I have looked at a few basic policies and had to study them thoroughly to find out they exclude epidemics.

If you ask for a policy that specifically includes cover for COVID, more often than not you’ll be quoted a premium for the same. It’ll be higher, but you can get it.

I do. The barely looked at mine, but mine was issued by AG Cambodia on behalf of Globality and had a covering certificate stating it included Covid-19. But they barely looked at it.

The $3000 is effectively a way round having to deal with foreign insurance companies. The are going to have local ones do the insurance for $90 which should negate the need for the $3000.

As I said in my upvote, Brave man and brilliant report!

You're probably shattered and shell shocked now but a couple of questions when you're ready:

1. If I recall correctly, you arrived with an active Business visa and work permit?

2. Did you have the usual airline luggage allowances?

So yeah, what a relief, eh? Hope tomorrow you can walk out free and clear.

I had a new business vis issued in London. Valid for 3 months from date of issue but only valid for 1 month from arrival. No work permit needed for visa application, just an employment letter.

Normal luggage allowance, 23kg plus 10kg hand luggage.

I am now sitting and waiting results. One girl said earlier that maybe 2pm. At 2pm a young man said maybe 5 or 6pm. I just checked in case results were back and they were staggering the check outs and have been told maybe 12pm. "Man said, check in at 12, results by 12".

I do remember reading somewhere that one group got theirs by early evening the next day, i.e. 18-20 hours.

It's the longest wait...

There is a light at the end of that tunnel... good luck.
