Compulsory health insurance for expatriates and foreign visitors to Qatar

The compulsory health insurance for expatriates and foreign visitors to Qatar will come into force in May 2022.

Experts say that the new plan would generate a premium income ranging between 1.7 billion QAR (464 million USD) and 2.2 billion QAR (600.4 million USD).

Qatar, host country of the 2022 Football World Cup, expects to receive nearly 1.5 million visitors. The latter are required to underwrite a compulsory health insurance policy.
