VIP Medical Test for UAE Visa in Dubai

All expatriates applying for a new or renewing an existing UAE residence visa must undergo a medical test for visa purposes in Dubai or other emirates. This test verifies that the applicant is free from communicable diseases such as HIV, tuberculosis, and hepatitis. It is a legal requirement under UAE immigration law and applies to all categories of residence visas, including employment visas, family sponsorship, and investor residency. The screening is conducted at a licenced medical centre for visa applicants, and results are submitted directly to the Dubai Health Authority (DHA) and the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA). Without medical clearance, it is legally prohibited to issue or renew a UAE residence visa. EGSH organises your VIP medical screening as part of the visa application process, arranging an appointment at the DHA-approved Smart Salem medical fitness centre. The screening itself takes just 10 minutes, with results submitted electronically for fast and seamless visa processing.

The VIP medical fitness test in Dubai is a fast-track health screening service conducted at a DHA-approved medical centre for visa purposes, such as Smart Salem. Unlike the standard Dubai medical test, which may take 24–48 hours to obtain results, the VIP medical screening in the UAE is designed for applicants who require their results urgently. The entire process — from registration to blood test and chest X-ray — takes about 10 minutes. The priority medical fitness certificate is issued within 30 minutes and submitted electronically to the DHA and GDRFA for seamless visa processing.

At DHA-approved Smart Salem centres, VIP medical test results for a UAE visa are ready within 30 minutes after completing the screening. The examination itself takes about 10 minutes, including blood tests and a chest X-ray. Once the results are ready, they are submitted electronically to DHA and GDRFA, allowing you to proceed with your visa application without delay. This is the fastest available option for a medical test for visa purposes, compared to a standard screening, which may take 24 to 48 hours.

The cost of a VIP medical fitness test for a UAE visa at Smart Salem in Dubai is AED 700. This premium service offers expedited processing, with the entire examination—including registration, blood tests, and chest X-rays—completed in approximately 10 minutes. Test results are typically available within 30 minutes, facilitating swift visa processing. For standard medical fitness tests at other DHA-approved centres, the medical fee for a visa in Dubai generally ranges from AED 250 to AED 270, with results typically available within 24 to 48 hours.

The VIP medical test for a Dubai visa includes two mandatory exams required by DHA: — Blood test — checks for HIV, hepatitis B & C; additional tests may be required depending on your job category. — Chest X-ray — for active pulmonary tuberculosis. These tests apply to all categories of UAE visas. The VIP health screening in Dubai provides the same screenings as standard testing, but with faster processing and result submission.

A medical fitness test is mandatory for renewing a residence visa in Dubai. All expatriates renewing their UAE residence visa must confirm they are free from communicable diseases, as required by Dubai Health Authority (DHA) regulations. The procedure for visa renewal is the same as for new visas: you must pass a medical screening at a DHA-approved centre. To save time, EGSH arranges a fast-track visa medical test, where the examination and results submission to DHA and GDRFA are completed in a single day. This ensures your visa renewal process continues without delays.
