Do I still need UAE DoH-approved health insurance while staying outside 3 years?

Dear Questioner,

Thanks for your inquiry!

Regarding the above, we would like to inform you that, according to UAE law, all residents are required to have valid health insurance coverage while living in the country. This includes those who hold a golden visa.

If you plan to leave the UAE for a period of 3 years, it is recommended that you maintain your UAE DOH-approved health insurance during this time.

This is to ensure that you have coverage in case of any medical emergencies or unexpected health issues that may arise during your time outside the country.

If you do not maintain your UAE health insurance during this period, you may face penalties and fines upon your return to the country.

Additionally, you may also face difficulties in obtaining a new health insurance policy upon your return.

It is important to note that the requirements for health insurance coverage may vary depending on the specific terms and conditions of your Golden Visa.

It is recommended that you consult with your visa sponsor or the relevant authorities for more information on your specific case.

Kindly feel free to contact us via phone or email for further inquiries.

Greetings,
