dubai — The Dubai Naturalisation and Residency Department (DNRD) will not accept from Saturday any health insurance policies that do not comply with the conditions announced previously by the department, Major General Mohammad Al Marri, Director DNRD, announced on Wednesday.
He said that the insurance cover must be valid for the whole of UAE and should
not be restricted to any specific emirate. The move comes in a bid
to offer the best health insurance coverage for all visa applicants, Al Marri
said. Under the supervision of DNRD, an agreement was signed between Aman and
Oman Insurance Companies to provide the insurance cover at the DNRD headquarters
and external centres.
Under the terms of the agreement reached with the two insurance companies,
three different types of health policies will be issued according to the period
of stay. For a 30-day visa cover, insurance policy will cost Dh40,
the 90-day visa will cost Dh90 and the multiple entry visa for 180 days will
cost Dh185.
