Issuing a Medical Visa for one or several entries
Dubai offers a seamless process for obtaining a medical tourism visa, making it easier for international patients to access top-tier healthcare services. The visa is available for 90 or 180 days, allowing for one or multiple entries, and can be renewed if additional treatment time is needed.
To apply, patients must have a sponsor or host that is a licensed healthcare facility in the UAE. This ensures treatment from a recognized provider. The healthcare facility will facilitate the visa application process, reducing the administrative burden on the patient.
A visa can also be granted to one or more escorts accompanying the patient, ensuring support during treatment and recovery. The General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs – Dubai oversees the issuance of these visas. Know More
