Visa & Entry Information

Simple Travel Requirements for International Patients

Visa & Entry:
Entry requirements vary depending on the country where treatment is received within the Aster DM Healthcare network. Many international patients travel to Aster facilities located in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), where citizens of numerous countries — including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, European Union nations, and several Asian countries — may enter visa-free or obtain a visa on arrival for short stays. Other nationalities may require a pre-arranged visa.

Patients should always confirm the most up-to-date visa and entry requirements with the relevant embassy, consulate, or official government immigration website prior to travel. Passports are typically required to be valid for at least six (6) months beyond the date of entry.

Travel Tips:

  • Fly into the international airport closest to your selected Aster hospital or medical center (such as Dubai International Airport for UAE-based facilities).
  • Choose accommodation conveniently located near the hospital to simplify transportation and follow-up visits.
  • Carry printed or digital confirmation of medical appointments and hospital communications.
