Health Insurance for Young Professionals

[Britta875]

Hi everyone,

I just finally received my confirmation for Young Professionals and am now a bit confused as to whether or not the requirement for the health insurance coverage is the same as for the IEC working holiday since I will be working and am signed up for MSP. Do I need to show proof of insurance coverage at the border for this one as well or not?

Thanks for your help!

Requirements to activate are the same regardless of which category of IEC , there is no allowance or expectation that participants might already be in country.
