Applicants who file their applications in person through the typing centres at the DNRD headquarters and external centers reserve the right to select the insurance company of their choice as long as they are in line with the terms and framework of the health insurance policies previously declared by the department.
Prices start form Dh40 for short-term visas valid for 30 days, Dh90 for visas valid for 90 days and Dh185 for multiple entry visas valid for 180 days with a minimum limit of Dh50,000 per person per visit.
