Have you ever thought of the need to undergo the medical screening test before applying for a Residence Visa in Dubai? This is one of the frequently asked questions by expats who decide to live or work in the UAE. This blog will provide you the complete information regarding Medical test for visa in the UAE. Al Nahda visa medical center is an authorised medical screening center in Al Nahda, Dubai that performs medical screening test for Residence visa and visa renewal requirements.

Why Perform Medical Screening To Acquire Residence Visa In Dubai?

Every foreign national who plans to live or work in the UAE is required to undergo a medical screening test to apply for the Residence Visa. This is mandatory under the UAE Federal Laws.
The medical screening test serves as a medical fitness test. The medical fitness test is conducted to medically examine whether the applicant is devoid of certain communicable diseases. And those communicable diseases are HIV, leprosy, tuberculosis and syphilis.
The fitness certificate will not be issued if the applicant is found to be infected with any one of the above-mentioned diseases. In that case the Residence visa will not be issued. Non-issuance of the Residence Visa would lead to the deportation of the applicant.
Therefore, the medical screening test serves as a tool to prevent the spread of communicable diseases in the UAE population. The screening process protects the health of the UAE residents. The vast majority of the UAE population (nearly 89%) comprises of the expat residents who live in the UAE as part of their work, education or family. The expat residents belong to different countries and therefore it is essential to have an effective medical screening procedure.
