UAE Health Insurance Checks Required for Residency and Work Visa Renewals
Health insurance is mandatory across all seven emirates for private-sector employees and domestic workers to renew UAE residency permits. The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation offers a basic insurance scheme at AED 320 annually for five Northern Emirates, while Dubai and Abu Dhabi operate separate systems. Investor applicants under Golden Residency categories must also maintain valid comprehensive health coverage under federal immigration guidelines.
