All doctors licensed by the UAE health regulatory bodies can apply for the golden visa between July 2021 to September 2022 through the website (smartservices.ica.gov.ae). Dubai-licensed doctors may apply through (smart.gdrfad.gov.ae). The concerned government departments will receive and review the applications to issue the golden visa for those who qualify.

In addition, seven centers affiliated with the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship will be established throughout the Emirates for physicians who wish to apply for the visa in person.

The move is in implementation of the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to grant Golden Visas to those with scientific competencies and distinguished expertise. It will help attract and retain top talent in the medical field.

What is a Golden Visa?

The UAE has conditionally renewable long-term visas for five or ten years for certain categories of residents, including investors, entrepreneurs and specialist talents.

The system allows UAE residents and foreigners to obtain a long-stay residence visa without the need for an Emirati sponsor.

Last November, the cabinet led by Sheikh Mohammed approved major procedural changes for residents to obtain the visa.
