Abu Dhabi simplifies Golden Visa process for doctors

Doctors in Abu Dhabi now have access to a variety of packages to facilitate easier processing of the UAE Golden Visa.

Launched by Abu Dhabi Department of Health and Abu Dhabi Residents Office, the VIP package offered to nominated doctors through the YAS Tas-heel Centre will cost AED 4,000. It will cover additional services such as Emirates ID, passport pickup and drop-off, and visa hold services for dependents.

This cost is also inclusive of fees for application, change of status, visa stamping and Tas-heel processing.

Two non-VIP packages are also available with two pricing options - AED 3,470 if paid through wire transfer, and AED 3,547 if paid online. These packages, however, exclude visa cancellation and medical assessment fees.

The non-VIP packages can also be applied through the Federal Authority for Identity & Citizenship (ICA) website.

In addition to offering doctors more convenience, this new, streamlined process will boost efficiency and effectiveness, eliminating the need for service centres to reach out to nominees.

The UAE’s Golden Visa is available in Abu Dhabi for international investors and talent from around the world, providing successful applicants with visas for up to 10 years.

Golden Visa holders can live, work and study in Abu Dhabi without the need of a national sponsor.
