Health Insurance in India for NRIs & OCIs: Live Q&A with Policybazaar
Sunday 18 October 2026, 15:00 Stockholm time
Online (Zoom) · Free
If you're an NRI or OCI living in Sweden, one uncomfortable question keeps coming up: what happens if you or your parents need hospital care in India? Many NRIs have learned the hard way that arriving in India or while visiting India without local health insurance can mean enormous out-of-pocket bills, and that buying a policy after a diagnosis is too late.
For a long time the answer was complicated: can OCI card holders even buy Indian health insurance? Policybazaar has now confirmed in writing that they do insure OCI card holders, and their NRI insurance consultant is joining us live to explain exactly how it works, and to take your toughest questions.
What will be covered
- The new rules on health insurance for NRIs
- Confirmation that OCI card holders can be insured: see the proof
- Why NRI policies come at a discount, and the GST refund explained
- How the claim process actually works for NRIs and OCIs
- Health insurance for your parents in India, and how their claims work
- Open Q&A: ask anything, including the hard questions
Do you even need this?
Honest answer: not everyone does. If you plan to live in Sweden permanently and visit India for at most ~45 days per trip, your Swedish hemförsäkring's (Home Insurance) travel cover typically protects you. This session is for everyone else: longer India stays, a possible move back, or parents in India who need cover.
