Current non Imm O extension (retirement) requirements

[jnak]

I apologize if this has recently been covered, but I didn’t find it. 
 

I have a list general requirements that is use each year, but wondering if anything as been added recently. For example, is medical insurance required? It used to be it was only for non imm OA, but with Covid I’ve heard it’s now a requirement even if you’re renewing within the country?

 

Also, my wife and son are on a non imm O (dependent) visa. Does they both also need insurance? My wife and I have it but my son is not covered on it. 
 

Which brings up another question, does my son (age 7) technically even need a visa?

 

thanks in advance.

No insurance is required for your extension of stay or the extensions for your family's extensions.

Thanks!

 

Does anyone know about if our son needs a visa? (See OP)

He should have a visa and a extension of stay.

Children under the age of 15 are not fined for a overstay but they should still have a valid visa or extension.
