United Arab Emirates Medical
Thinking of moving to The United Arab Emirates? Whether applying for a residency visa or a work permit, all visa applicants will require a thorough medical exam, along with a series of blood tests before being granted their visa. Unusually, these exams and tests must all take place upon arrival to the UAE in a Government Medical Facility. Failure of any single aspect of this exam, may result in immediate quarantine, deportation, and visa refusal.
Therefore, many UAE visa applicants prefer to undergo this test first at home – whether in full, or in part – before catching that 7 hour flight to Dubai! That way, there will be no nasty surprises when undergoing these tests in the UAE Government facility, and you can be sure of your impending passing of this medical exam. Like a trial-run or dress rehearsal, before the real medical upon arrival to the UAE.
