Documents required for a UAE medical treatment visa
According to UAE, applicants must present a valid passport and a personal photograph. A medical report is compulsory, along with a letter from the healthcare facility in the UAE stating the purpose of the visit. Travellers must also provide proof of an onward travel ticket.
Companions applying alongside patients are required to submit a visa approval letter issued by the relevant health authority. Additionally, nationals of Afghanistan, Iran, and Iraq must include a copy of their personal identification document — a requirement that does not apply to applicants from other countries.
Fee breakdown for the Medical Visa
The UAE has set out seven distinct fee categories for the medical treatment visa. An application fee of 100 AED applies to all submissions. The visa issuance fee for a single-entry permit valid for one month stands at 100 AED, while a multiple-entry permit for the same period costs 200 AED.
Smart service fees are charged at 100 AED. Financial guarantee fees vary by entry type: single-entry applicants pay 1,000 AED, while those seeking a multiple-entry visa must pay 2,000 AED. A financial guarantee deposit fee of 20 AED is also applicable across applications.
