You will also need a printer to take a printout of the policy.</p> <h2>When should you buy Visitor Insurance?</h2> <p>You can buy these plans anytime before the person starts the journey or even after they arrive in the United States. It is advisable to buy the policy at least a day in advance of the plan effective date. </p> <p>The plan start/effective date can be based on the following factors: </p> <ul class="bullet"> <li> If you're buying a fixed/limited plan which covers only within the USA the start date should be the day person arrives into United States. <br> </li> <li> If the plan is a comprehensive coverage plan with the option of international coverage the start date should be the day the person boards the plane. These plans are effective during the flight as well. </li> <li>If the person has already arrived you can choose the start date any day you would like to start the insurance coverage. The earliest start date can be the next day. </li> </ul> <h2>Policy Purchase Process and Acknowledgment</h2> <p>Purchasing visitor medical insurance online is a simple 3-6 step process which takes 5-15 minutes to fill the application online.
