Dubai: If you are issuing a new residence visa or renewing your current visa, a medical examination is mandatory. Previously, in Abu Dhabi, residents had to go to the Disease Prevention and Screening Centre (DPSC) in person and wait for an assigned appointment.
However, on 1 August, Abu Dhabi health services company SEHA announced the launch of a new mobile app “SEHA Visa Screening” for Apple and Android devices. So now you need to make a medical appointment through the app before visiting the center.
So, if your visa is about to be renewed in Abu Dhabi, or you are becoming a resident, here is everything you need to know.
