Make UAE My Home
For doctors and healthcare professionals

Moving to the UAE as a doctor or healthcare professional

Healthcare is regulated in the UAE: practising needs a licence from the health authority of the emirate. Consulting, training or healthcare-related trading can often start with a company licence.

Common questions

How much does a UAE company cost?

It depends on the free zone, the number of visas and your office. Our cost estimator gives you a range from today's published prices in about a minute, and your three options show every fee line.

What's the difference between a free zone and a mainland company?

A free-zone company is usually cheaper and faster, and suits customers outside the UAE or in other free zones. A mainland licence lets you trade directly with anyone in the UAE, including the government.

Do I need to live in the UAE?

No. Many owners run their UAE company from India. If you want a residence visa, you'll need a short trip for the medical test, Emirates ID fingerprints and usually the bank meeting.

Can I bring my family?

Yes, with your own residence visa you can sponsor your spouse and children if you meet the income and housing rules.
