When we extend parents visit visa through MOI-Absher, Do we need to take care/pay anything for insurance too?
As you are aware that insurance came in to mandatory thing that has to be done along with additional fees of visit visa, but I am unable to understand if we need to renew insurance too when we extend our parents visit visa.

yes, i  am trying to extend the insurance from last two days for extension of my mother visit visa but no company is doing it. In fact no system for it for gov expat employ.
Even head office Rehab cheif officer refused to help.
You have to have insurance by any means for extension of visit visa in the system.

you cannot do online but visit your nearest arabic sheild insurance office they are currently working on visit visa insurance the cost depends on your nationality and age

What you did? can you share it with us? I tried many times but unfortunately didn't succeed.

Hi,
You can send your inquiry to visitvisa@walaa.com and they shall respond to you immediately. They will ask for the visa copy and border number. Once you share this information with them, they shall communicate you the amount needed for issuance of the insurance along with the wire transfer details.
As soon as you pay the amount into their bank account, within 5 minutes they will send you the insurance policy along with all necessary details.

I have just done it 1 hour ago so thought this might be helpful for others.
Still trying to figure out how can I extend the visit visa through absher. Will share more info once I complete the process.

Hope this helps!

Done with your visa extension or not yet??

Dear all,

I have read everyone's comments. I am also going thru the same. As i was in Arabian Shield insurance company today, there they told that this is a new rule from April-1-2018 for Extension of Visit Visa, Visitor's health insurance need to be renewed.

Go to the insurance company like Arabian shield and Walaa there you can find lots of ppl standing for the same issue. You can renew ur visitor's Health Insurance there and check whether it is updated in CCHI website or not. Once it is updated u can extend ir visit visa.

There is no official information about this and u can't even find details in any information websites also.

I have renewed my Family's insurance but still it isn't updated in CCHI website. And remember even if u pay for renewal of insurance what's showing in the CCHI website is the Final.

Arabian Shield office is Olaya street and don't forget to take ur visitor's original passport, copy of passport and visa page. The timings are Morn 8 A.M to 4 P.M

All the best.

HamzaDar

Not yet. I went to Jawazat office but they told me the insurance is not appearing on system since the system is closed for updates after 2:00 PM every day. Hard to believe this statement but will see until tomorrow. 
Will share once done.

syed.abu51

Thanks for the info. Even I don't why it is not updated in CCHI. only 3 working days balance for my family Visit visa expiration. Too much worried.

omi.khan123

I am also trying to extend my family visit visa (expiring on 9th April). I have already acquired the health insurance through Arabian Shield Cooperative but its not updating in Absher system.
I contacted on Arabian Shield customer care they said it takes 48 hours for the insurance to appear in the system but if my visa is going to expire soon then I can make a complaint on CCHI regarding it.
I have already made the complaint and now waiting for their response on my complaint.

syed.abu51

Dear Omi khan,

For my family also visa expiring on 9th april. For me also in Arabian Shield insurance company it is showing "You have active Insurance". But in Absher it is not showing. When enquired Arabian Shield responded that in CCHI it need to be updated. Can we enquire in CCHI directly?
Or else i have only 2 working days excluding today.

In CCHI website where we need to complaint?

Pls reply!

Faisal Arshad

kmuneer21

Jibu2208

syed.abu51

For visa insurance. Type your border number in the given space u will find the validity of ur visitor's insurance

mr.noumi

Dear All.
ALHAMDULILLAH
It is working now, without insurance they are accepting the renewal of Visit Visa,

Go & try now immediately.

I just renew for my family just now.

syed.abu51

Alhamdhulillah renewed.

HamzaDar

Alhamdolillah the visa got extended theogh Absher. I guess the Jawazat guy was right after all.

You can refer back to my previous posts and opt to follow the process I adopted for visa renewal.

Best of luck!!

omi.khan123

Alhamdulillah, today my family visit visa has also extended for 3 months successfully. I don't know either it was done after the insurance issue got resolved in system or if it happened without any insurance renewal requirement. Anyways, relief for now.
