In a move set to revolutionise the residency visa renewal process for expatriates in Dubai, VFS Global and AMH have launched the 'Medical Examination Doorstep Service'. This innovative service allows expats with UAE residence visas to complete their medical exams without leaving the comfort of their homes.

Designed as a premium offering, the Medical Examination Doorstep Service is available through VFS Global, catering specifically to Category A visa holders. This optional add-on complements the standard medical examination services provided at designated centres.
This initiative is in line with the Emirates Health Services' (EHS) vision of expanding healthcare services. It offers a seamless experience for customers, who can book their medical examination appointments directly from their homes or offices through an online or offline process.
The launch of this service underscores VFS Global's commitment to enhancing customer experiences and aligns with EHS' goal of creating a more accessible and convenient healthcare system. Expats in Dubai and other emirates will likely find this service a valuable addition when renewing their visas.

The partnership between VFS Global and AMH also demonstrates a commitment to providing accessible and efficient healthcare solutions. By streamlining the medical examination process, expat visa holders can now conveniently complete this requirement from their homes or offices.
VFS Global operates two physical Medical Examination Centres for EHS, located in Ibn Battuta Mall and Dragon Mart 2, ensuring broad access to medical services across Dubai.
