The Medical Insurance Included With Your Saudi eVisa

Saudi tourist visas generally include mandatory medical insurance as part of the visa process. However, the included policy has specific limits, so travellers should understand what it covers and what may need separate travel insurance.

What Is Included

The visa-linked insurance provides medical coverage during the traveller’s stay in Saudi Arabia, subject to the policy terms and limits. It is intended to cover eligible healthcare expenses that arise during the insured period.

The insurance details are normally provided with the visa or policy documents, so travellers should keep a copy available during their trip.

Cover Limits

Coverage is subject to maximum limits, exclusions, and conditions set by the insurance policy. Not every medical expense is automatically covered, and some treatments may require approval or meet specific eligibility conditions.

Check the individual policy certificate for the exact limits rather than assuming that all healthcare costs are covered.

How to Claim

If you need medical treatment, contact the insurer or the approved assistance provider using the details shown on your insurance certificate. For emergencies, seek immediate medical attention first and then follow the insurer's claim procedure.

Keep relevant documents such as medical reports, prescriptions, invoices, receipts, and payment records if you paid for treatment yourself.

Gaps to Cover Yourself

Visa-linked medical insurance may not provide the same protection as comprehensive travel insurance. Depending on your trip, you may want additional cover for trip cancellation, baggage loss, delays, personal liability, and other travel-related risks that are outside the medical policy.

Always read the policy exclusions and limits before travelling so you know exactly what is and isn't covered.
