Do I need medical insurance so I can apply for a Saudi tourist visa?

By removing license fees, the Saudi government hopes to encourage new and existing businesses to invest in the kingdom’s hospitality sector.

Article Summary:

Saudi Arabia has removed license fees for hotels and resorts to boost tourism.
The policy shift aims to reduce barriers and encourage additional investments in the country’s hospitality sector.
Moreover, the move underscores the kingdom’s broader goal of diversifying the Saudi economy away from petroleum and establishing Saudi Arabia as a global tourist destination.

The Tourism Health Insurance policy will cover all the health emergency situations by a network of approved health care services providers around the kingdom. Healthcare providers should treat emergency patients without requiring the insured to pay any costs for medical services without the need to refer to the insurance company and charge expenses directly to the insurance companies accounts.
