NON-IMMIGRANT VISAS
Visas for Medical Treatment
Medical treatment can generally be pursued with a B1-B2 visa, but additional documents will be required. Applicants traveling for medical treatment in the United States should bring:
- Diagnosis from a physician in the United Arab Emirates.
- A letter from a physician or medical facility in the United States stating that arrangements for treatment have been made. This letter must include the date treatment will begin, the estimated duration of the treatment, and the estimated total cost of the treatment.
- Evidence of ability to pay for the medical treatment.
- All documents must be in English or accompanied by an English translation.
The Embassy recognizes that the need for medical travel often arises suddenly. Persons wanting to travel for emergency medical reasons are not required to make an appointment. Please appear at the Embassy with your application materials at 8 a.m. on any Sunday, Monday, Tuesday or Thursday – excluding U.S. and Emirati holidays. Medical travelers should have documentation of the emergency nature of travel from medical professionals in the UAE and the USA.)
