The obligation

Why health insurance is mandatory in the UAE

Insurance isn't a nice-to-have but a condition of residency. Without a valid policy a residence visa won't be issued or renewed: the insurance is checked when the visa is processed.

For employees the employer provides the insurance. Company owners, freelancers and family members arrange the policy themselves.

The choice

What to look at when choosing a policy

  • Whether it meets the requirements of the emirate issuing the visa
  • The network of clinics that accept the policy without a co-payment
  • Cover for outpatient care and hospitalisation
  • The terms on chronic conditions and pregnancy
  • Whether the policy works outside the UAE

The minimum cover required differs between emirates — a policy for Dubai and one for Abu Dhabi are not the same thing.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get a residence visa without insurance?
No. A valid policy is a condition of issuing and renewing the visa.
Will a policy bought in another country do?
The cover requirements are set by the emirate issuing the visa. A foreign policy isn't always accepted — we check before filing.
Who pays for an employee's insurance?
The employer. Company owners, freelancers and family members arrange the policy themselves.
Terms

The terms the expert works on

Guarantees the outcome by contract

Writes the outcome and the timeline for every service — including opening a bank account — into the contract, and answers for them.

Bills in stages

You do not pay the whole sum up front: invoices come in instalments as each stage closes.

Fixes the price in the contract

The cost is locked in and does not grow as the work goes on. Prices on the site are indicative — the final figure comes after your case is reviewed.

Charges no hidden fees

No penalties or surcharges beyond the contract. No Pactors markup either: you pay the expert their own price.

Works with lawyers of 8+ years in UAE law

The licence for your activity is matched, and the requirements worked through, by qualified lawyers.

Thinks a step ahead

Picks the zone and the licence so that a year from now you do not hit a limit and have to redo the whole thing.

Deals with authorities directly

Handles government bodies, free zones and UAE banks personally — no chain of subcontractors.
