The Tawakkalna app stated that the health status of the beneficiaries on the app will be “insured visitor” if they come to the Kingdom on a visit visa, provided that they have active and valid medical insurance.

The app noted that the health status of an “uninsured visitor” means that the beneficiary is a visitor from outside the Kingdom and does not hold an effective insurance, adding that the "uninsured visitor" will be treated as a non-immune visitor.
