Your guide to healthcare

Mandatory health insurance
Yes
Health insurance is mandatory in Dubai for all categories covered by Law No. 11 of 2013: UAE nationals residing in Dubai, foreign residents and visitors.
Access to the public system
Under conditions
There is no free public cover for foreign residents in Dubai. The emirate's public insurance scheme (the Enaya programme) is reserved for citizens of the Emirate of Dubai not covered by another public scheme and for employees of Dubai Government departments and their dependants.

Mandatory health insurance
Health insurance is mandatory in Dubai for all categories covered by Law No. 11 of 2013: UAE nationals residing in Dubai, foreign residents and visitors.
Read the details
Health insurance is mandatory in Dubai for all categories covered by Law No. 11 of 2013: UAE nationals residing in Dubai, foreign residents and visitors. Employers must insure their employees and bear the cost alone, with no deduction from salary. Dependants (spouse, children, domestic workers) must be insured by their “sponsor”, i.e. the person who sponsors their residence permit, where the employer does not cover them. Residents with neither an employer nor a sponsor must insure themselves. Every policy issued in Dubai must at least provide the benefits of the Essential Benefits Plan (EBP), the basic plan the DHA imposes as a minimum standard, with the annual benefit limit indicated; employees in the low-salary band can only be insured by insurers approved for that purpose (“Participating Insurers”). The check takes place at the visa stage: Dubai's GDRFA verifies in the DHA's electronic register of insured persons that the person is covered, and no residence visa is issued or renewed without compliant insurance. After the visa is cancelled, cover must be maintained for the period indicated or until departure from the country.
Access to public healthcare
There is no free public cover for foreign residents in Dubai. The emirate's public insurance scheme (the Enaya programme) is reserved for citizens of the Emirate of Dubai not covered by another public scheme and for employees of Dubai Government departments and their dependants.
Read the details
There is no free public cover for foreign residents in Dubai. The emirate's public insurance scheme (the Enaya programme) is reserved for citizens of the Emirate of Dubai not covered by another public scheme and for employees of Dubai Government departments and their dependants. Other foreign residents obtain care through their mandatory insurance, within their policy's provider network, which may include public facilities. The emirate's public network, Dubai Health (hospitals and health centres; the DHA is its regulator), accepts many insurance plans; care there is chargeable, including in emergency departments, with coverage depending on the policy. In an emergency, a sponsor or employer who failed to insure a person despite being required to do so must pay the actual cost of the emergency care. No DHA “Health Card” giving foreign residents access to the public system was found on the official websites consulted.
- Employee
- Employers, including in free zones, must insure each employee at a level at least equal to the Essential Benefits Plan and pay the premium alone; they cannot deduct anything from the salary. They must present the policy when the employee's residence permit is issued or renewed. Cover for the spouse and children is encouraged but not imposed on the employer; failing that, it falls to the family's sponsor, in practice often the employee themselves.
- Dependant (family visa)
- Spouses, children and domestic workers residing under a family visa must be insured by their sponsor where the employer does not cover them. The sponsor pays the premium, maintains cover throughout the stay and presents it when the visa is issued or renewed; failing that, the sponsor bears the cost of emergency care. A newborn is covered by the mother's policy during its first weeks of life, for the period set in the table of benefits, even if not yet registered.
- Investor, business partner or self-employed worker
- The law provides no separate rule for investors, company partners or self-employed people (“freelancers”): residents with neither an employer nor a sponsor must themselves take out insurance at least equal to the Essential Benefits Plan, and the visa is only issued or renewed after the cover has been checked in the DHA register. Business owners who employ staff are subject, as employers, to the obligation to insure their employees. The GDRFA page on the golden residence for investors does not mention any specific insurance requirement.
- Retirement residence visa
- Foreign retirees residing in Dubai without a sponsor fall under the general rule: they must insure themselves at a level at least equal to the Essential Benefits Plan. Dubai's GDRFA information sheet does not list insurance among the documents for the retirement visa application, but registration in the DHA register of insured persons is checked whenever a residence visa is issued or renewed. Age-related premium conditions are not set by the authority and depend on the insurer.
- Golden Visa
- The Golden Visa does not require a sponsor, so holders must insure themselves and the family members they sponsor. For the “talents and specialists” categories, Dubai's GDRFA requires valid comprehensive health insurance for the applicant and their family at the time of application, or insurance compliant with the rules of the competent local authority. For investors, the GDRFA information sheet mentions no specific requirement, but the general obligation under Law No. 11 of 2013 and the check at the visa stage apply.
- Virtual work visa (remote work)
- Holders of this residence visa, who work from Dubai for an employer based outside the UAE, must attach a copy of their health insurance to the application filed with Dubai's GDRFA; it is a mandatory document. As they have no employer in the UAE, they take out and pay for this insurance themselves, and it must meet the DHA minimum to be recognised during the visa check.
- Student
- No rule specific to students was found on the DHA or ISAHD websites: resident students are insured by their sponsor (the parent or institution sponsoring the visa), under the general rule for sponsored persons.
Your first steps
- The employer (for an employee) or the sponsor (for a dependant) takes out a policy meeting the DHA minimum with an insurer authorised in Dubai; residents with neither an employer nor a sponsor take it out themselves.
- The insurer enrols the insured person in the DHA's electronic register of insured persons and issues a health insurance card, electronic or paper.
- When the residence visa (and therefore the Emirates ID) is applied for or renewed, Dubai's GDRFA checks the registration; without insurance, the application is rejected.
- To obtain care, the insured person first sees a general practitioner in their policy's network (no prior approval from the insurer is needed for this visit); under the EBP, a specialist consultation is only reimbursed on referral by the GP via the DHA's e-Referral system.
- Non-emergency hospital admissions, MRI, CT scans and certain procedures require the insurer's prior approval; an emergency admission must be notified to the insurer within the time limit set in the table of benefits.
