Is health insurance mandatory for a property residence visa?
Yes. Valid UAE health insurance is mandatory to issue or renew any property residence visa and for each sponsored dependent; GDRFA/ICP verify coverage in real time and any gap blocks processing. It's separate from government fees, typically AED 600-2,000 per person per year. A medical fitness test is also required at every renewal.
