Introduction
All individuals applying for a UAE residence visa must complete a medical fitness test and biometric registration as mandatory steps in the visa approval process. These procedures ensure public health safety and enable the issuance of the Emirates ID, which is essential for living and working in the UAE.
UAE Medical Test – What It Involves
The UAE medical test is conducted at government-approved medical fitness centres across the Emirates. The test primarily screens for communicable diseases such as tuberculosis (TB) and HIV, in line with UAE public health regulations.
Applicants are required to undergo:
- A blood test
- A chest X-ray
Medical test results are usually issued within 24–48 hours, depending on the service type selected.

These details are used to issue the Emirates ID, which is required for banking, employment, tenancy contracts, healthcare, and other essential services in the UAE.
