Hi all,

anyone know whether person with tourist visa is eligible for medical coverage or not?
any rules regarding this issue?

my parent visiting me using tourist visa, unfortunately got sick and treated in Royal Hospital.
is she coverage with medical insurance from that visa, or i must pay for the bill?

thank you for your information.

special number

you must pay the bill on your own. Maybe if your relative  have medical insurance coverage in your  home country, you can claim it. :)

It has got nothing to do with Visa, if prior to travel an insurance coverage was taken (irrespective of Visa category) , a claim CAN be made .

It is common for tourists to take medical cover when they travel .

Thanks
