Q: I have an Abu Dhabi skilled worker golden visa. Do I need to maintain UAE DoH-approved health insurance during my 3-year stay outside the UAE? A: All residents are required to have valid health insurance coverage while living in the country. This includes those who hold a golden visa…

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,

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

Mandatory health insurance

Q: Dear Sir, Madam, I have a question in relation to the DHA mandatory health insurance cover that has come into effect. I am the owner of a Dubai-based FZ company and have my residence visa through an employment contract with this company. The health insurance that I do have is DHA approved, but was requested and issued under my own personal name - and is therefore not linked to the company in any way. Is that a problem? Does the mandatory health insurance have to be requested by, and issued to the company? Thanks.

المسؤولية عن سداد المبالغ التي لا يغطيها التأمين للمستشفى

س: سأكون ممتنًا لنصيحتك القانونية حول السيناريو التالي: لقد وضعت (قمت بالولادة) في مستشفى في 16 مايو. في وقت الدفع، لم يطلبوا منا دفع أي شيء وقالوا إن التأمين يغطي ذلك. بعد أكثر من شهر، اتصلوا بنا قائلين أنهم ارتكبوا خطأ، وأن قيمة ما يغطيه التأمين هو نصف الفاتورة فقط وطلبوا منا دفع الباقي من المبلغ. هل ما زلنا ملزمين ومسؤولين عن السداد بعد أن تم إصدار الفاتورة؟

Health insurance for employees with family visas

Q: Good Day, Please, could you advise if as per the current UAE regulations in Dubai, is an Employer obliged to provide a Dubai Health Authority compliant health insurance to those employees in the company, who are holding ONLY work permits (labour cards) with the Employer? These employees do have valid DHA compliant health insurances, issued by their main Sponsors (Spouses / Family Members). Thank you and Regards, Merry Shopova

Is a bounced rent cheque case considered a criminal record for U.S. visa applications?

Hello, My rent cheque was bounced, and my landlord filed a case against me in Sharjah Court. I received a fine of 2,000 AED, which was later reduced to 1,000 AED upon appeal. Does this case count as a criminal conviction under UAE law, or was it handled as a civil matter? If I apply for a U.S. visa, will I need to submit court records under the requirement for applicants with past convictions?

How can I renew my Ejari if the landlord hasn’t signed the new contract?

Hi, I have been here for 3 years now and paid the increased amount (as per the agreement) for the 4th year. However, the landlord did not send me back the signed contract, although I have both made the payment for the full year via bank transfer and sent my signed contract to him. I need to renew my Ejari; however, how can I do it without the landlord's signature? I have all the previous contracts signed by both parties, along with the Ejari for those contracts.
