Hi All,

My parents will be tavellling to  Qatar on a visit visa. Do my parents need to get their medical insurace from India? or is medical free in Qatar or do they have toapply for medical insurance in Qatar. I am new to Qatar and hence I am not too sure about the rules and regulations.

 

I am also looking for a good clinical psycologist in Qatar. Please do let me know your suggestions.

 

Help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Regards,

doesn't matter. VISA is a worlwide thing. matters only what is the deal ur bank has with VISA. as long as the ticket was purchased with it, the owner of the card who bought the tickets+spouse have insurance. it can be even bought online. doesn't matter. just let ur parents keep the reciept that they bought it with their Visa card. 

 

If you're looking for a problem, you're probably gonna find one.

Thanks for the help.

The thing is they are booking their tickets from India , so is this medical insurance available for VISA credit cards in India as well or do u have to book them from Qatar.

i don't want to be advertising agency here, but i'd suggest u one thing:

most banks have deal with VISA on travel medical insurance.

this is how it works:

u buy the ticket with VISA card and automatically the person (mostly also husband/wife/kids) is insured for around 25,000$ with classic and 50,000$ with gold.

it also includes other things, even plane delay.

check with ur bank about this/credit card centre.

 

it is much easier and not everyone knows about it.

 

hope it helped... all the best!
