Health insurance is compulsory for all UAE residents, including employees, investors, family members, and domestic workers. Your residence visa or dependent sponsorship will only be approved once valid medical coverage is provided.
The Dubai Health Authority (DHA) sets the minimum coverage through the Essential Benefits Plan (EBP), granting access to basic healthcare services. For wider protection, residents may choose enhanced plans covering private hospitals, specialist treatments, and maternity care.
Dar Alnukhba Customer Care Center helps you select and arrange the appropriate health insurance in Dubai, ensuring your policy is DHA-compliant, valid for visa applications, and tailored to your requirements and budget.
Address
A 2-year investor visa in the UAE is an official residency permit issued to property owners whose real estate investment in Dubai is valued at AED 750,000 or more at the time of purchase. The visa is processed through the Dubai Land Department (Taskeen) and approved by the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA). It allows investors to reside legally in the UAE, access government services, and sponsor family members.
Medical insurance in Dubai is divided into basic mandatory plans and enhanced coverage options based on visa type, income, and healthcare needs:
Essential Benefits Plan (EBP): The DHA-mandated basic insurance for low-income workers, domestic staff, and certain dependents, covering emergency care, outpatient treatment, and hospitalisation.
Standard & Enhanced Plans: Broader insurance offering access to private hospitals, maternity care, chronic disease management, and family coverage. Ideal for professionals, families, and investors.
Golden Visa Insurance: Specialised plans for Golden Visa holders providing at least one year of continuous coverage, renewable for the duration of long-term residency.
All policies must be issued by DHA-approved providers and comply with Dubai health insurance regulations for visa stamping and residency renewal.
How can I choose the right health insurance for a UAE residence visa?
Your plan must meet DHA requirements and align with your visa type, income, and healthcare needs. Basic plans cover essential care, while enhanced policies offer private hospital access and family coverage. The insurance must remain valid for the full visa period. Dar Alnukhba Customer Care Center guides you in selecting a compliant DHA-approved plan from trusted providers, ensuring smooth visa processing and legal compliance.
