Every resident in the UAE is required to have an Emirates ID, which serves as their legal identity throughout their stay. Alongside this, medical typing is a compulsory procedure for visa approval and renewal. Let’s explore why these two processes are so vital.
What is an Emirates ID?
The Emirates ID, issued by the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship, is a mandatory identification card for all citizens and residents. It contains biometric data and is used for:
-
Government services
-
Banking & financial transactions
-
Health insurance and hospital visits
-
Travel within GCC countries
Medical Typing – Why It’s Important
Medical typing is a step where your medical test request is registered before undergoing medical screening. It ensures your fitness to live and work in the UAE. Without medical clearance, no visa application can be completed.
When Do You Need to Renew?
-
When your visa is renewed
-
When your Emirates ID expires
-
In case of damage or loss
