Yes, definitely, OCI cardholders can buy health insurance policies in India. Many insurance companies offer special plans for OCI cardholders, particularly those who frequently visit India.

    I was an Indian citizen previously, but five years ago, I acquired foreign citizenship while holding an OCI card, and my family also holds an OCI card. Now that my family keeps visiting India, I want to purchase a good health insurance policy to safeguard them in case of any medical emergencies during their visit. Can anyone suggest to me what type of health insurance an OCI cardholder needs to buy?

    I am an OCI cardholder, and I have not purchased health insurance yet because I have a small family. I believe it is more cost-effective to pay for healthcare in India for a small family, as we do not visit India frequently. However, if you are a frequent traveler or plan to settle in India, buying a health insurance policy can be a good idea.

    I am an OCI cardholder, and I plan to purchase health insurance in India for myself and my husband. I am aware that the government of India has clearly stated that OCI cardholders can buy health insurance in India; however, the process is quite complex. I am genuinely frustrated, and it would be great if someone could assist me by sharing which plan I should buy. Additionally, could you please guide me on the benefits of having a health insurance policy in India?
