An International Visa may require documents and Qualifying International Medical Insurance. In my experience the best way to handle a visa is by going to a consulate in the US. The consulate speaks english and is there to help.
Using a Visa Company in the country when you arrive at your destination country can be confusing and can cost you a lot. You are at the mercy of the Visa Company. Visa companies are expensive.The private insurance they will sell you is very expensive.
AND
YOU WILL NOT HAVE
1. A network of contracted english speaking doctors
2. Pre-existing conditions may NOT BE COVEREDand usually are excluded.
3. Unless you are fluent in the language of the country, DON'T expect doctors to speak ENGLISH SO having a contracted network of english speaking doctors is essential.
4. You won't have medical air evacuation ncluding back to the US or brings your family to you
5. You might take a trip to a country the insurance does not cover you in.
