Hospital-sponsored entry for international patients receiving medical treatment, valid 90–180 days in UAE facilities.
The UAE Medical Visa enables international patients to enter for specialized care at licensed hospitals. The medical facility acts as official sponsor, ensuring institutional accountability and direct linkage to a verified treatment plan. Distinct from standard tourism permits, it requires comprehensive medical documentation and proof of financial solvency.
The visa is valid for 90 days (single entry: AED 200–300) or 180 days (single/multiple entry: AED 500–900), plus 5% VAT and security deposits (AED 1,000 single, AED 2,000 multiple). It is extendable with continued medical documentation. Processing takes 48 hours. Dependents are permitted. Work authorization is not allowed.
This visa is ideal for international patients seeking specialized medical care at world-class UAE healthcare facilities.
