Squaremouth’s Qatar Travel Insurance Recommendations
Over the last 12 months, the top three travel insurance plans purchased by travelers with upcoming trips to Qatar on Squaremouth were:
All foreigners visiting Qatar must purchase a policy from an insurance provider that’s been recognized by the Qatari government to gain entry into the country.
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. 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, prepaid trip 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.
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 departure.
Note that for entry, Qatar requires travel insurance to be supplied from a Qatari national provider.If you are interested in supplementing these plans with a U.S.-based policy, click here to begin your search for Travel Insurance.
