Why healthcare professionals qualify easily
Doctors, specialists, pharmacists and other licensed healthcare professionals are explicitly recognised under the Golden Visa's professional category, often with a more flexible salary threshold than other professions.
Salary and qualification requirements
Applicants generally need a valid UAE medical licence, a relevant degree from a recognised institution, and an employment contract that meets the current salary threshold for their specialisation.
Recognised qualifications
Degrees must be attested through the Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP) or the relevant emirate health authority, alongside standard Ministry of Foreign Affairs attestation.
Fast-track considerations
Because healthcare is a designated priority sector, many hospitals and medical groups in the UAE offer dedicated PRO support to help doctors move through the Golden Visa process faster.
