DUBAI — Dubai Naturalisation and Residency Department (DNRD) has announced that all online visa applicants through its portal www.ednrd.ae will be automatically prompted to use Aman and Oman Health Insurance services available 24/7 from October 12.
Applicants will have to enter the necessary information as indicated when they file their application online and will automatically receive the health insurance cover related to the type of visa they are applying for.
As previously announced by the DNRD and in a bid to secure visitors’ stay in the country as per the new visa regulations, health insurance cover is one of the mandatory requirements to enter the country.
Subsequently, DNRD had signed two memorandums of understanding (MoU)with Aman Insurance and Oman Insurance Companies to offer easy access to health insurance providers within the DNRD premises, as a value-added service for all applicants.
The two companies will now extend their services to offer health insurance policies associated with all online visas.
