What there is to know about UAE tourist visa with health insurance
As part of its ongoing transformational projects, the UAE is automating the health insurance process for tourist visas through an electronic platform. This platform will manage the issuance and pricing of health insurance packages from all major insurance providers in the UAE. Tourists can now easily select the appropriate health insurance while applying for their visas online via the ICP app or official website, ensuring a seamless and convenient process.
Major General Suhail Saeed Al Khaili, Director-General of the ICP, emphasised the project’s advantages: “The project allows tourists to obtain health insurance electronically while applying for their visas through our services system.” This initiative not only supports the UAE’s thriving tourism sector but also strengthens the healthcare system by ensuring visitors are covered during their stay.
