My mother's here on a visit visa for 3 months and we booked her tickets and visa. And that came with the usual travel insurance. Does that insurance cover her medical during the stay here as well or does it cover her/items during the time of the journey?

Also, if that doesn't cover her during her stay here, is there anyway we could apply for her insurance now? Or can my father who's in India apply for that and send it across?

TIA :)

You could call RSA at 800-RSA & check with them.

Most travel insurance policies are not valid for 3 months, I found one for my son that could be renewed every 30 days for up to a year. https://global.ihi.com/ It is a policy that is back by BUPA and I thought the cover was very good.

CW you have to buy the travel insurance so you would have a policy emailed to you. Sometimes your credit card cover the tickets with just basic insurance ie flight delays, baggage delay How did you get the insurance? DH booked the flights and I think he said the insurance was a compulsary thingy before getting the visa... Check the flight confirmation - should have the details on that then but it could also have just been a warning to get insurance.

Check the policy most travel insurance policies cover medical and luggage etc but usually have a limit of 30 - 45 days cover at any one time unless you have taken out a policy specific to a longer period ie backpackers holidays. <em>edited by Dally on 13/02/2011</em>
