Published 3 months ago
For many new Dubai residents, the medical fitness test is a required part of the residence visa process. Dubai Health provides the Medical Fitness Exam for Residency Visa service for individuals applying for or renewing UAE residency.
Who Needs the Medical Fitness Exam?
Dubai Health states that individuals applying for or renewing their UAE residency visa can use the service to issue a Medical Fitness Certificate as part of the residency visa process. The exam is completed through Dubai Health medical fitness centres.
Required Documents
The Dubai Health service page lists required documents including a completed registration form, original and valid Emirates ID or passport, a recent passport-sized photo with a white background, and an e-visa copy. Applicants should check their own visa category and sponsor requirements before visiting.
Customer Journey
The process starts with application submission through the Salem Portal. The customer then visits a medical fitness centre with the required documents. The health check can include blood collection, chest X-ray, and vaccinations for certain profession categories. Results can be tracked through the official service.
Unified Health Screening
Dubai Health has also launched Unified Health Screening, which combines medical fitness examinations and occupational health screening into a single application and unified customer journey for eligible job categories. The service is available at selected Dubai Health medical fitness centres and Smart Salem centres.
Final Note
Before booking or visiting a centre, confirm the latest service requirements, location, and pricing through Dubai Health. Bring the correct documents and avoid unofficial booking links or third-party claims that are not linked to Dubai Health or authorised channels.
