Traveling to Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Sourced Full United Arab Emirates guide →The United Arab Emirates is the Gulf's premium medical hub, built around Dubai and Abu Dhabi and one of the world's densest clusters of JCI-accredited hospitals — including Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, American Hospital Dubai and the Dubai Healthcare City free zone. Patients come for cardiology, orthopaedics, fertility, oncology and cosmetic care delivered in English to international standards; Dubai alone drew about 260,000 medical tourists in the first half of 2015, and the government runs a dedicated medical-visa track through the GDRFA.
- Visa
- Many Western nationalities (US, UK, EU, Australia, Canada) get a free visa on arrival for 30–90 days; from 2026 tourist-visa approvals in Dubai are processed in ~48 hours, and visa-on-arrival eligibility was expanded to six more nationalities (Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, Kenya, South Africa). Confirm your nationality's rule before travelling.
- Medical / long-stay visa
- For treatment, foreign patients use a Medical Visa — an entry permit sponsored by a licensed UAE hospital (fees: AED 200 for a 90-day single entry, AED 500 for 180 days), typically covering ~30 days of initial treatment and extendable on medical documentation. Hospitals in Dubai Healthcare City, Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi and American Hospital Dubai coordinate approvals directly with the GDRFA.
- Arrival
- There is no digital arrival card; entry is via the visa/visa-on-arrival stamp. Residents (not short-stay medical visitors) must hold an Emirates ID.
- Currency

- Languages
