Dubai Mandates 30-Day Health Insurance Coverage Following Employee Visa Cancellation
Under Dubai regulations, employers must maintain an employee's health insurance coverage for 30 days following visa cancellation or until the individual departs the UAE, whichever occurs first. Outside Dubai, there is no standardized federal rule, leaving coverage duration during residency grace periods subject to employer discretion and policy terms. Dubai law requires all employers, including free zone entities, to secure health coverage through Dubai Health Authority-authorized providers.
