Recorded only because the briefing asked for the mandatory health-insurance charge to be noted as a separate item if the authority presents it. On the official pages fetched during this research the visitor eVisa portal (visa.visitsaudi.com) did not present an explicit mandatory medical-insurance line, and it is not available to Bangladeshi passports in any event.
