The UAE has introduced a new initiative to streamline the process of obtaining insurance for tourists by integrating it into the visa application process. Starting soon, travelers applying for visas through the Identity, Citizenship, Customs, and Port Security (ICP) website will have the option to select insurance coverage directly during their application.
Key points of the initiative include:
- Insurance Integration: Tourists will be able to choose insurance packages from major providers while applying for their visa online.
- Emergency Health Coverage: The insurance will cover emergency health needs, ensuring visitors are protected in case of unforeseen medical emergencies.
- Financial Protection: The initiative aims to relieve visitors from the financial burden of emergency medical care during their stay.
- Flexibility: For more comprehensive coverage, visitors may need to purchase additional private insurance to supplement the basic coverage provided.
The exact launch date and any additional costs associated with this new insurance option have not yet been announced. This initiative is expected to simplify the process for tourists and provide an added layer of security during their visit to the UAE.
