CCHI Specifies The Procedure To Verify The Validity Of Umrah Insurance And Its Details
Category: Expats

In Saudi Arabia, the Council of Cooperative Health Insurance (CCHI) explained steps for pilgrims arriving from outside the Kingdom to inquire about their health insurance status and ensure that it is valid.

It outlined steps through which a pilgrim on an Umrah visa can inquire about health insurance,

1. You can inquire about your insurance status by visiting the official website of the Cooperative Health Insurance Council and selecting 'e-services'.

2. You may also click on 'Haj Insurance Inquiry'. Haj Insurance Inquiry (الإستعلام عن تأمين العمرة)' .

3. The passport number should be entered in the next box and the image code in another box, then click OK.

Now you can view all the details of your insurance, such as the name, type, status, passport number, policy number, issue date, expiration date, and upload date.

If you did not have health insurance, the status simply reads 'No health insurance found for this number'.

According to the Ministry of Interior, anyone coming to the Kingdom on any kind of visa must obtain health insurance for emergency treatment, including Corona coverage in case they contract Covid-19.

All visitors, including those on Umrah visas, tourism visas, and multiple entry visas, are required to carry insurance.

The insurance must cover the entire duration of the visitor's stay in the Kingdom. In the event that the visitor's visa is extended, the insurance policy must be renewed.

- Meanwhile, the Tawakkalna confirmed that those who come to Saudi Arabia on visitor visas after obtaining medical insurance against Covid-19 should contact the health insurance council if their status is not 'Insured visitor' on Tawakkalna application.

Those on a visit visa and who have valid health insurance will have their status listed as 'insured visitor' on their Tawakkalna application, while those who do not have valid health insurance will have 'uninsured visitor' on their application.
