Starting June 3, some public health centres in the UAE will no longer provide medical fitness tests required for residence visa applications, according to the Emirates Health Services (EHS).
The centres affected by this change are:
- Ajman Public Health Centre
- Ras Al Khaimah Public Health Centre
- Umm Al Quwain Public Health Centre
- Fujairah Public Health Centre
Despite these closures, EHS reassured that the medical fitness tests will still be available at other centres within the respective emirates. These tests are mandatory for all expatriates applying for residence visas, and a report confirming the individual’s medical fitness is essential for the approval of the visa application.
Applicants in Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Umm Al Quwain, and Fujairah can still undergo their medical fitness tests at the following centres:
Ajman
- Mushairef Residence Medical Examination Centre
- Al Nuaimiya Residence Medical Examination Centre
Ras Al Khaimah
- Dahan Residence Medical Examination Centre
- RAKZ Residence Medical Examination Centre
Umm Al Quwain
- Al Madar Residence Medical Examination Centre
Fujairah
- Al Amal Residence Medical Examination Centre
- Mina Tower Residence Medical Examination Centre
EHS emphasizes the continued availability of this vital service to ensure a smooth process for all visa applicants.
