In addition to the below, please note that I am unable to pay the visa fee to issue the visa without buying the insurance (Again). Unfortunately I was unaware that the insurance policy needs to be purchased after the visa approval and not before.

please help me in this.

Dear DG, I purchased the QIC Insurance policy while submitting the request for family visit visa. I got the message that my visa request is approved and there is a link to purchase the insurance policy. My concern how do I upload the insurance copy which I already purchased before visa request was approved? The insurance policy starts from 24th April 24 and it is for 3 months. Do I have to buy the insurance policy again or is there a way to upload the policy online in Metrash?

Your prompt response is much appreciated.

Thanks and regards Habeeb

Smart questions you may be asking: View all

Our health insurance policy will not provide coverage for the following- • Cosmetic or Obesity treatment • Pregnancy-related conditions • Injuries caused due to self-harm or suicide attempt • Injuries suffered due to adventure sport, war, nuclear explosion, defense operations

Getting cashless claims is extremely simple. All you have to do is seek treatment in one of the network hospitals covered under your medi-claim policy. Upon completion of the treatment, the hospital files a claim with the insurer, and the insurance company settles the bill directly with the hospital. Policyholders need not pay a single penny for cashless claims.

Your health insurance policy offers cover against medical expenses. If a person meets with a medical emergency, then they can file for a claim with health insurance. However, a policyholder will not get such benefits when the health insurance policy has expired. The person must pay the medical expenses out of their pocket. Therefore, it is extremely important that you remember the expiry date of your medical insurance policy and renew your health insurance plan on time to enjoy interrupted protection.

Under health insurance, the age and the amount of cover are two main factors that decide the premium. Usually, younger people are considered healthier and thus pay lower annual premiums. Older, people pay a higher health insurance premium as their risk of health problems or illness is higher. Similarly, smokers and those who consume alcohol have higher premiums. Even the nature of your job and where you stay can influence the premium of your medical insurance policy.

Yes, you can have more than one medical insurance policy. In case of a claim, you can choose which policy to use to cover your costs. The benefit of having 2 health insurance plans is that, once the Sum Insured of one policy is exhausted, the remaining medical expenses, if any, can be claimed through the second health insurance policy.

TPA is short for Third Party Administrator. TPAs are IRDAI authorized entities that act as intermediaries between the general insurance company & the policyholder. They provide policyholders with numerous services such as claim guidance, issuance of photo identity cards, providing approval for cashless claims, guidance for rejected claims, and so on.

The goal of this mandatory scheme is to regulate healthcare costs and improve the healthcare system. It protects you in case of accidents or medical emergencies during your stay. This insurance covers just emergency and accident services and has a monthly payment of QR50 once the visitor’s visa is issued or when extended.

In this article, we’ll cover how to get mandatory health insurance for visitors to Qatar, the approved companies, the cost, exemptions, and recommendations. So, let’s make sure you’re prepared for your upcoming visit to Qatar.

Law No. 22 of 2021 on Health Insurance

  • Qatar’s Law No. (22) of 2021 regulating healthcare services in Gytar stipulates the requirement of Health insurance to travel to Qatar. 
  • The law requires Qatari companies to give health insurance coverage to their foreign national workers who live and work in the country through private insurance companies. (Art. 11.) 
  • Foreign nationals’ work permits cannot be extended or renewed without proof of health insurance coverage. (Art. 10.)
  • In contrast to foreign nationals, Qatari citizens are not forced to use services provided by commercial health insurance firms under Law No. 22 but are entitled to free healthcare services from the Qatari government. (Art. 6.)

Mandatory Health Insurance for Qatar Requirement

All travellers to Qatar who applied for a visitor’s visa after 1 February 2023 are obliged to purchase health insurance. This is required for all types of visit visas, including the Family Visit Visa, the GCC Residents Visit Visa , and the Visa On Arrival. While GCC citizens are spared from the health insurance requirement during their visit to Qatar.

Why is Qatar implementing a health insurance scheme?

The health and well-being of tourists are of the utmost concern, according to MOPH. As a result, the government has put in place the essential measures to safeguard visitors from accidents and medical emergencies during their stay. The program intends to control health insurance and assure continual improvements by developing a sustainable and effective healthcare system and managing healthcare expenses.

How to Obtain Visitor Health Insurance for Qatar

To obtain health insurance for your visit to Qatar, you will need to go through an additional step in the visitor visa application or extension process.

Visitors Applying for a Visit Visa Online

  • Visitors using the Metrash App to apply for a visit visa will be forwarded to the MOPH website.
  • After completing all other applicable visa procedures, they can choose one of the insurance providers registered with the Ministry to acquire the visitor’s medical insurance.
  • The Ministry of Interior will grant the relevant visit visa after the insurance coverage is issued by the chosen insurance company.
  • The visitor will obtain the Health Insurance Policy from the insurance providers’ websites. The policy can be printed, saved, and presented as needed.

Visitors Who Are Eligible for a Visa On Arrival

To guarantee a rapid completion of your processes upon arrival at all of the border crossings (airport, land, and seaports), tourists are requested to obtain visitor insurance coverage through the MOPH website before arriving at these ports and following the same protocols described.

Health Insurance Approved by the MOPH

The registered insurance firms are published on the website of the Ministry of Public Health. Visitors can select any of the mentioned insurance firms by using the links on the MOPH website :

The following insurance firms are registered:

  • Al Khaleej Takaful Insurance
  • Beema Damaan Islamic Insurance Company
  • Doha Insurance Group 
  • Doha Takaful 
  • General Takaful
  • Insurance that is Islamic
  • Qatar General Insurance and Reinsurance Co.Q.P.S.C
  • Qatar Insurance Company
  • QLM Life & Medical Insurance Company

The Ministry of Public Health stated that tourists who have foreign health insurance must also include Qatar, must be valid throughout their stay in the country, and must be supplied by one of the insurance firms permitted in Qatar.

Prices of Visitor’s Health Insurance Policy: 

  • The regular price for a single health insurance policy for 30 days (about 4 and a half weeks) will be QAR 50.
  • A traveller must purchase extra health insurance to extend a visit visa beyond 30 days.
  • Travellers can also purchase extra health insurance plans, with varying rates based on the insurance company’s costs.
  • If the duration of the stay is shorter than the duration of the visa, health insurance premiums cannot be repaid.

Exemptions and Recommendations

Visitors to Qatar may be exempt from the mandatory health insurance requirement if their stay is less than 30 days. However, it is highly recommended to purchase health insurance even for short trips as some airline staff may ask for it. If insisted, insurance can be purchased for QR 50. Australian citizens, who can get a visa on arrival, usually do not need health insurance for short-duration trips. To provide a clearer understanding, here is a table that summarizes the exemptions and recommendations for Qatar visit visa insurance:

Please note that this table is for reference purposes only, and visitors should always check the latest updates and requirements on the Government of Qatar’s website and Envoy’s website.

  • In the situation of a single-entry visa , the basic visitor insurance package expires upon exiting the State of Qatar whether it’s air, sea, or land port.
  • For multiple-entry visas , there is insurance coverage that is effective from the date of entrance until the policy expires

Hayya Cardholders and their Companions:  

Hayya cardholders and their companions must get visitors’ insurance plans that cover the remaining duration of the Hayya card entrance permit, which expires on January 24, 2024. For example, if a Hayya Cardholder intends to join the State of Qatar on March 1, 2023, he or she should buy an insurance plan for 11 months, and if intends to enter Qatar on April 1, 2023, he or she needs to purchase an insurance policy for 10 months, and so on.

Qatar Travel Insurance Requirements

Last updated: 03/07/2024

As of February 1, 2023, all foreign visitors are required to have an approved and recognized medical insurance policy in order to gain entry into Qatar. The policy must be effective for the duration of their stay, and can be purchased in advance or on arrival at a cost of 50 Qatari Riyal, roughly $14.

According to authorities, travelers with international health insurance must have a policy that’s valid in Qatar, covers their entire stay in the country, and was issued by one of the recognized insurance providers. Be sure to visit the official Visit Qatar website for a full list of recognized insurance providers.

Squaremouth’s Travel Insurance Recommendations

All foreigners visiting Qatar must purchase a policy from a insurance provider that’s been recognized by the Qatari government in order to gain entry into the country. With that said, there’s a possibility that the coverage options available from those recognized providers won’t meet the needs of some travelers. If additional coverage is needed, Squaremouth recommends supplementing the required coverage with a comprehensive travel insurance plan.

For travel to Qatar, Squaremouth recommends a policy with at least $50,000 in Emergency Medical coverage and $100,000 in Medical Evacuation coverage. This is in line with Squaremouth’s general international medical recommendations, due to the potential for high medical expenses overseas.

Emergency Medical coverage can offer reimbursement for expenses due to an unforeseen illness or injury. Covid-19 treatment can also be covered under most policies. The Medical Evacuation benefit can provide reimbursement for costs associated with transportation for a traveler to get to the nearest adequate medical facility.

Travelers visiting Qatar may have extensive travel arrangements, pre-paid trips costs, and non-refundable expenses, such as airfare, accommodations, tours, sports tickets, or excursions. For these travelers, Squaremouth recommends a comprehensive plan that offers the Trip Cancellation benefit. This benefit can reimburse up to 100% of these prepaid and non-refundable insured trip costs if a traveler has to cancel for a covered reason.

The most common covered reasons typically include contracting Covid-19 or another unforeseen illness, an injury, inclement weather, or terrorism.

Policies with Trip Cancellation are comprehensive. This means these policies often include coverage for other major traveler concerns, such as delayed baggage, missed connections, or a trip that gets interrupted after the departure.
