Health Insurance Cost for Visa Purposes in the UAE

If you are applying for a residence visa, family visa, employment visa, or investor visa in the UAE, you must have valid health insurance as part of the visa process. Health insurance is mandatory before the visa can be stamped and issued.

Let’s break down the health insurance costs in the UAE for visa purposes, and what factors influence the pricing.

Why is Health Insurance Required for UAE Visa?

The UAE government mandates that all residents must have valid health insurance to cover medical expenses, emergencies, and routine healthcare. Without insurance, visa applications will not be processed, especially in Emirates like Dubai and Abu Dhabi where insurance is strictly enforced.

Health Insurance Cost for Visa Applicants (Estimated)

Category	Annual Insurance Cost (AED)
Basic Individual Plan (Employees, Spouse, Children)	AED 750 – 1,200
Standard Family Plan (for 4 members)	AED 2,500 – 4,000
Parents Above 60 Years	AED 2,500 – 5,500
Investor or Business Owner Plan	AED 1,200 – 2,000
Premium Plans (Extended Coverage)	AED 5,000 – 12,000+

Note: Costs vary based on age, existing health conditions, insurance provider, and type of coverage.
