Travel insurance claiming is a very easy process. To claim your policy, you will need several documents. You can submit these documents to your insurer and get your claim settled. Following are a few documents that are required to file a travel insurance claim: • Claim form • Policy documents • ID proof • Travel trip tickets • Discharge card and other hospital bills

Your medical coverage will depend on the plan you choose. We offer different plan options and each of them offers varying coverage amounts for medical emergencies.

Not all our travel insurance plans offer the hospital allowance benefit. Therefore, you will be entitled to receive a hospital daily allowance only if your plan offers. This daily hospital allowance will be provided only if the insured is admitted for a period exceeding 48 hours and is limited to a maximum of 20 days of hospitalization.

A travel assistance partner is a person who primarily helps in medical emergencies during travel. A travel assistance partner is a term that is used for an individual who is tasked with assisting you in medical emergencies during travel. A travel assistance partner is crucial in bringing medical attention to your aid when you need it.

The loss of your passport can result in significant financial losses. You might have to extend your stay, pay express passport processing fees, re-schedule your flights, etc. Keeping this in mind, our travel insurance policy can offer up to $ 200 in case you lose your passport on your trip.

Qatar Travel Health Insurance: Guide for Visitors

May 12, 2024

No Comments

Planning an exciting trip to the dazzling Arabian country of Qatar? Don’t forget to secure proper travel health insurance before your journey! As of February 1, 2023, Qatar made it compulsory for all international visitors to have adequate medical coverage during their stay.

This new rule aims to provide visitors with safe, hassle-free treatment if any medical emergencies or accidents occur while vacationing in Qatar.

It also helps regulate healthcare expenses and upgrade Qatar’s medical facilities.

In this article, we delve into the significance of this new rule, its implications for visitors, and how you can navigate the process seamlessly, ensuring a worry-free and unforgettable experience in Qatar.

Who Needs Qatar Travel Insurance?

Anyone applying for a visa must purchase an approved travel health plan. Even those eligible for a Visa on Arrival at Qatar’s borders need insurance if extending their stay beyond 30 days.

Exemptions and Recommendations for Qatar Travel Insurance

While Qatar’s travel health cover is mandatory for most visitors, there are a few exemptions to be aware of:

• Stays under 30 days: Insurance is not legally required, but still highly recommended
• Australian citizens on short visits: Usually exempt from needing insurance
• GCC nationals : Gulf region citizens are spared this regulation

However, it’s always advisable to get insured regardless of exemptions. Medical emergencies can happen unexpectedly, even on shorter trips. Having that extra coverage provides invaluable protection and peace of mind during your Qatar travels.

GCC Nationals Exempt from Qatar Visitor Insurance

The Ministry of Public Health in Qatar has clarified that citizens of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries are exempt from the new mandatory health insurance requirements for visitors to Qatar. This exemption applies as the first phase of Qatar’s Health Insurance Scheme took effect on February 1, 2023.

As stated by Dr. Yousef Al Maslamani, Medical Director of Hamad General Hospital, “The law does not apply for citizens from Gulf Cooperation Council, only to other visitors.” GCC nationals visiting Qatar will not need to purchase the compulsory visitor’s health insurance policy.

This exemption is in line with Qatar’s Law No. 22 of 2021 regulating healthcare services, which made health insurance mandatory for all other international visitors entering Qatar. While non-GCC tourists must have at least basic emergency and accident coverage, GCC citizens are spared this requirement during their stays in the Qatari nation.

Steps to Get Travel Health Insurance For Visitors To Qatar

Step 1: apply for qatar visit visa.

Apply for your Qatar visit visa through the Metrash app .

Step 2: Choose an Approved Provider

You’ll be prompted to choose an insurance provider approved by Qatar’s Ministry of Public Health (MOPH).

Step 3: Purchase the Plan Online

After selecting a company, complete the quick purchase process online.

Step 4: Visa Issuance with Insurance

Your visa will be issued once you have the mandatory insurance policy.

Step 5: Access Your Policy Documents

Print or save your policy documents to present when required.

What is the Cost of Qatar Travel Insurance?

The standardized insurance premium is an affordable QR50 (around $14) for a minimum 30-day coverage period. You can buy extended coverage from MOPH-approved providers if your visit is longer.

This basic visitor’s plan covers:

• Emergency medical treatment up to QR150,000
• Ambulance transport costs up to QR35,000
• COVID-19 treatment up to QR50,000
• Quarantine expenses up to QR300 per day
• Repatriation costs up to QR10,000

With straightforward purchase and low pricing, getting insured is a no-brainer for safe, breezy travels in Qatar! Simply follow the mandated process while planning your trip.

What is the Validity of Qatar Travel Insurance?

Your travel health insurance policy for Qatar has some important validity guidelines. The coverage period begins on your arrival date at any border entry point. If you extend your stay beyond the initial visa, you must purchase a new insurance plan.

The minimum policy duration is 30 days – shorter periods are not available. For single-entry visas, your coverage expires as soon as you exit Qatar via air, land or sea. But those with multiple-entry visas remain insured until the policy end date, regardless of temporary departures.

Get Assistance on Qatar Travel Health Insurance

Have questions about securing the required health coverage for your upcoming trip to Qatar? Don’t worry, help is readily available! Simply dial the Ministry of Public Health (MOPH) Helpline 16000 from within Qatar, and select the health insurance extension.

For international tourists calling from abroad, you can reach out to 00974-44069963. Conveniently, you can also email [email protected] with any health insurance queries or complaints related to traveling to Qatar.

The MOPH’s multilingual staff will be delighted to assist you with all your visitor insurance needs and ensure a smooth, stress-free experience when getting covered for your Qatar vacation.

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.

Importance of travel insurance in Asian countries

These Asian tourist destinations stay on the top of the list of many travel enthusiasts from all over the world, especially India, as they are cheaper to travel as compared to other countries. Besides, the visa acceptance rate for Asian countries is also better than European or American nations. In fact, some countries even offer visa-on-arrival for the Indian visitors .

But when it comes to applying for a visa for specific countries, travel insurance may come out as a mandatory requirement for the process to complete.

If you are also planning a trip to an Asian country and wondering if it is necessary to have travel insurance, this article has got you covered.

Here’s why it is important to own travel insurance while travelling to Asian countries

Is travel insurance mandatory required in Asian countries?

While a few other Asian countries do not mandate that visitors have a travel insurance plan, they highly recommend it for the safety and comfort it ensures.

The following table shows the list of countries and whether or not they require travel insurance:

Benefits of travel insurance for Asian countries

• Covers the cost of a medical emergency
• Compensates for flight delays and cancellations

This is not about flight cancellation, but it ruins the entire travel plan, including your pre-booked accommodations and trip itinerary. With the right travel insurance plan from a provider like Tata AIG, you can buy flight cancellation insurance. It means you can raise a claim in such a scenario and get compensated for your losses.

• Covers baggage loss
• Covers third-party liability

Dealing with such situations without a travel insurance policy can result in serious consequences, including legal action. But if you have the right insurance policy, you can handle such situations with ease, as your insurance provider will be there to back you up.

• Ensures stress-free time abroad

Where to buy travel insurance online?

You can purchase your desired travel insurance policy online, depending on your requirements. All you need to do is visit Tata AIG and get your quote. Once you get a quote, either you buy it directly, or the insurance provider will get in touch with you to understand your requirements and provide a suitable travel policy.

If you are not sure which insurance plan to buy, it is recommended to compare travel insurance policies of different types and select the one that matches your budget and requirements.

Final words

From dealing with health-related expenses to covering your unwanted flight cancellation and baggage loss, there are many other reasons why it becomes necessary to invest in the right travel policy.

So, ensure all-round protection on your international trip by having a suitable travel policy .
