UAE Golden Visa for Doctors and Healthcare Professionals

This article covers how you can apply for the Golden Visa as Licensed doctors and healthcare professionals in the UAE through the Dubai Health Authority (DHA). Learn about eligibility, required documents, timelines, and how EZONE can support your 10-year residency journey.

UAE Golden Visa for Doctors or Healthcare Professionals

The UAE grants a 10-year renewable Golden Visa to distinguished healthcare professionals as part of its commitment to strengthening the national healthcare system. This includes doctors, nurses, dentists, and allied medical specialists who hold valid UAE licenses and are employed at licensed medical facilities.

Importantly, this Golden Visa category is available only to applicants already licensed and employed within the UAE healthcare sector. Applicants must also have their academic degrees attested and equivalized by the Ministry of Education.
