The medical test for visa renewal is a mandatory Dubai Health Authority (DHA) screening required for all residents applying to extend their UAE residence visa. This test verifies that applicants are free from communicable diseases such as tuberculosis, HIV, and hepatitis B.

The screening must be completed before the current visa expires and applies to all expatriates, including:

• Employees

• Self-sponsored individuals

• Dependent family members

Once completed, a medical fitness certificate is issued by a DHA-approved centre and sent electronically to the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) to continue the visa renewal process.

At EGSH, we arrange your medical test at the DHA-authorised Smart Salem Medical Centre in Dubai, where:

• Screening is completed in 10–30 minutes

• Results are transmitted to the GDRFA in just 30 minutes

With EGSH, your visa renewal medical test is handled quickly, efficiently, and with full compliance.

Eligibility applies to sponsors holding a valid UAE residence permit whose family members were previously issued dependent visas. As part of the process, medical testing is mandatory for dependants aged 18 and above.

As a government-authorised AMER Centre, EGSH handles the full renewal procedure in line with GDRFA regulations — from document verification and submission to visa stamping, typically completed within 48 hours.

With EGSH, you can ensure a smooth, compliant, and timely renewal of your family’s residency in the UAE.
