Dubai to Launch ‘Smart Medical Visa’ Under GDRFA–DHA Agreement

GDRFA-Dubai and the Dubai Health Authority signed an MoU on 2 June 2026 to create a fully digital “smart medical visa”. The system will let hospitals sponsor patients online, link residency and insurance data, and issue renewable 90- or 180-day entry permits as QR codes. The reform will shorten lead times for medical travellers and help companies fast-track employees who need treatment before starting UAE assignments.
