Entry permit for family member or medical attendant accompanying patient for UAE treatment, valid 90 days per entry and renewable once.
The Medical Visa for Companion/Attendant enables family members or professional caregivers to accompany patients undergoing medical treatment in UAE hospitals. It is hospital-sponsored, filling the gap for those needing emotional and practical support during recovery. The companion's stay is tied entirely to the patient's medical case and treatment schedule.
The visa is valid for 90 days per entry and is extendable once with a certified medical report confirming ongoing treatment. Processing takes 2 days. Companions must provide proof of relationship to the patient, health insurance, and financial solvency to support themselves while assisting the patient.
This visa is ideal for immediate family members or professional attendants accompanying patients undergoing medical treatment who require caregiving support.
