Criteria for obtaining a health card in Dubai
In order to obtain a residency visa and labour card, all expatriates are required to undergo a medical and blood test. Employers usually arrange for all the necessary paperwork. If you are not covered by a company or private medical insurance, it is advisable to apply for a health card which entitles residents to low cost medical treatment at public hospitals and clinics. An application form can be collected from any public hospital then submitted (typed in Arabic), along with the correct documents to your local Health Care Center. The health card is valid for one year and can be renewed online. Documents required: Passport copy Covering letter from sponsor Visa application copy 2 passport size photographs Completed application form Fees Citizens (card valid for 4 years) 0-9 Years - AED 25 10-17 Years - AED 50 18 Years and Above - AED 100 Non Citizens(card valid for 1 year) 0-9 Years - AED 100 10-17 Years - AED 200 17 Years and Above - AED 300 plus AED 200/- for medical examination For more information, please visit the Department of Health and Medical Services |
