Health Test for New Arrivals

The medical fitness test for new entrants in Dubai is a mandatory health examination required for all individuals applying for their first UAE residence visa. Conducted in accordance with Dubai Health Authority (DHA) regulations, the screening detects communicable diseases and confirms that applicants meet the medical standards for residency.

This requirement applies to employees, investors, family dependants, domestic workers, and any other category of first-time residence visa applicants. The assessment typically includes a blood test and chest X-ray, with the result issued as an official Medical Fitness Certificate, confirming eligibility for visa issuance.

EGSH, as an authorised AMER Centre, coordinates the entire process through DHA-approved Smart Salem facilities. Clients receive priority access without queues, completing the examination in under 30 minutes. All results are securely transmitted to the UAE immigration system (GDRFA) in electronic form.
