Laiq in Ajman: visa medical screening, documents, fees and result steps
If your residence, employer, sponsor or PRO has directed you to Laiq, the most useful step is to confirm that your application is linked to the correct screening route before you travel. Laiq is a medical screening facility in Ajman rather than a normal GP clinic, and the documents, fee category and result process depend on the residency or worker application being completed.
Quick answer: current public location listings place Laiq Medical Screening Center on Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Street, Al Rashidiya 2, Ajman, with telephone 06 741 1110. Current public listings show 7:00 AM–6:30 PM Monday–Saturday and Sunday closed, but those hours do not guarantee a same-day token or appointment. Confirm your application, timing and final fee before travelling.
Know which organisation does what
UAEMedicalCentres.org is an independent information website. It is not Laiq Medical Screening Center, Sheikh Khalifa Medical City – Ajman, Emirates Health Services, Ajman Free Zone, ICP or another UAE government authority. This page combines branch-planning information with official medical-fitness guidance so that you can prepare for the visit without confusing the centre with the authority handling your residence application.
The Ajman medical screening facility you may be directed to for residency-related medical screening.
Emirates Health Services publishes a residency medical-fitness service with current process, documents, age requirement, fee categories and result information.
Medical fitness is one stage of the broader residence process. Your sponsor, employer, PRO, ICP route or free-zone workflow can determine what must happen before and after screening.
What exactly is Laiq Medical Screening Center?
Sheikh Khalifa Medical City – Ajman’s current About page lists LAIQ – Medical Screening Centre among five facilities in its cluster. The same current SKMCA page places the wider medical city under the guidance of The Medical Office and its present PureHealth/SEHA structure. This is useful for entity verification, but it should not be stretched into an unsupported claim about the legal ownership of every licence or transaction handled at Laiq.

Do these checks before leaving for Laiq
A residency medical screening visit works differently from a routine clinic appointment. The biggest avoidable problems are arriving before the application is ready, going to a centre that is not assigned to the case, carrying the wrong identity document or assuming an old fee applies.
Who normally needs residency medical fitness?
The UAE Government states that residence applicants aged 18 and above need to undergo a medical test as part of residence procedures. EHS’s own residency medical-fitness service likewise lists applicants as 18 years or older and describes the service as a way for expatriates to obtain the medical fitness certificate needed to apply for or renew a UAE residence permit.
A new expatriate residence application can include medical-fitness screening before the residence process is completed.
Renewal cases also require medical fitness where applicable. EHS specifically says Emirates ID is required for renewal.
Employees, domestic-worker categories and certain beauty, fitness or healthcare roles can fall under different screening fee categories or additional health requirements.
What should you take to Laiq?
For its residency medical-fitness service, EHS currently lists one passport-type photo and a valid passport or valid Emirates ID. It also states that Emirates ID is required for residence renewal. Those are the official service-level requirements; your sponsor, employer, free zone or application channel can add case-specific documents.
Carry the valid identity document required by your application. Renewal cases should pay particular attention to the Emirates ID requirement.
EHS lists one passport-type photograph. Follow any newer specification shown inside the application if it differs.
Keep the application/reference number, appointment message, UAE PASS access and registered phone/email available.
EHS states that delegate cards are required for companies with more than 10 workers. Confirm any additional authorisation required for your employer route.
If you are returning for a correction, repeat visit or requested follow-up, keep your previous receipt and reference information with you.
Confirm the current payment method and total before arriving rather than relying on a colleague’s old receipt.
How much does residency medical fitness cost?
Emirates Health Services currently publishes three main fee categories for its Examination of Medical Fitness for Residency Visa service. These are official EHS service figures, not a guarantee that the final amount charged in a particular Laiq application will equal only the base amount. EHS expressly adds service-centre fees.
| Category | EHS-published fee | Published category description | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | AED 260 + service-centre fees | Employees, companies and workers. | Confirm that your occupation/application belongs to Category A and ask for the final total. |
| B | AED 360 + service-centre fees | Private drivers, nannies, housekeepers, nursery supervisors, housemaids and equivalent roles. | Confirm the occupation classification and whether additional requirements apply. |
| C | AED 310 + service-centre fees | Workers in beauty parlours/salons, fitness clubs, spas and healthcare facilities. | Check the current category, any additional screening requirement and the full payable amount. |
Occupation category, application type, service-centre charges and any additional requirement can change the amount. One person’s receipt is not proof of another person’s current fee.
Ask for the final payable total, including the service-centre fee and any additional required service. Keep the receipt until the residency process is complete.
How the residency medical-fitness process works
EHS describes a structured digital and in-person process. The exact way your Laiq case is created can depend on the residence, sponsor or free-zone workflow, but the official EHS process is a useful checklist for understanding what normally has to happen.
Residency screening is about medical fitness, not a general health check-up
The UAE Government explains that residence medical fitness is intended to check required communicable-disease conditions for residence eligibility. It identifies HIV and tuberculosis among the central conditions and says certain worker categories have additional requirements involving conditions such as hepatitis B and syphilis.
This does not mean that every applicant receives an identical test package at Laiq. Occupation, application type and current official rules matter. Follow the screening instructions given for your case rather than asking a normal clinic to reproduce a visa medical.
The purpose is to produce an official fitness result connected with residence procedures, not to investigate every health complaint.
Some domestic, food, beauty, nursery, health-club and similar worker categories can have additional official screening requirements.
If the official medical service requests more evaluation, follow that instruction. A directory article cannot determine what an individual medical result means.
What to do after your Laiq screening
Keep your application number, payment receipt, registered mobile number and email available until the medical-fitness stage and the connected residence process are complete. EHS says results are delivered through email and SMS and lists a 24-hour report/result target for its residency medical-fitness service.
Check that the mobile number linked to the application is correct, then use the official application/status route. Do not create a second application merely because a message is late.
Check spam or junk folders and confirm the registered email address. Keep the application/reference number ready when contacting the official service channel.
Contact the relevant official service route or the centre with your application details. Public holidays, corrections, additional evaluation or a technical issue can affect an individual case.
Follow the medical service’s instructions. Do not copy another applicant’s experience or try to interpret the reason from a forum or directory review.
Planning a Laiq visit for workers or a company group
Company visits can fail before screening even starts if the applications are incomplete, workers have different fee categories, or the PRO has not checked authorisation requirements. EHS specifically states that delegate cards are required for companies with more than 10 workers.

Does Ajman Free Zone use Laiq?
Ajman Free Zone currently has an official Laiq Center page promoting fast-tracked medical examinations and residency-related medical requirements through its customer portal. This is useful for an AFZ investor, employee or company whose transaction is already being handled through the free-zone system.

Map data can change independently of this article. Confirm the destination name and current centre details before setting off.
What to expect when you reach the centre
EHS advises arriving 20 minutes before an appointment. Add extra travel time if you do not know the area.
Have the required passport or Emirates ID and application details ready rather than buried inside luggage.
Appointment and result information can depend on the registered phone number and email address.
Retain your payment and application references until the result and connected residence steps are complete.
Which Laiq visit are you preparing for?
Check that the medical-fitness request has been created, identify the assigned centre and confirm the applicant’s fee category before travelling.
EHS states that Emirates ID is required for renewal. Keep the current ID and application details accessible.
Domestic-worker occupations can fall into a different EHS fee category and may be subject to additional official health conditions.
EHS lists these occupations under Category C for the residency medical-fitness service. Confirm the exact classification and any additional requirements.
Check delegate documentation, applicant lists, category differences and current group-handling arrangements.
Follow the instructions inside the current AFZ customer portal rather than mixing a free-zone package with a separate public application.
Problems that can waste a Laiq visit
| Problem | Possible explanation | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| You are told your application is not ready | The sponsor, employer or online application stage may not be complete. | Contact the responsible application channel or PRO and confirm the reference before returning. |
| Laiq is not showing as your centre | Your application may be assigned to another screening location or service route. | Do not force the wrong centre. Follow the location attached to the official application. |
| Your fee differs from a colleague’s | Occupation, service category or service-centre fees may differ. | Ask which category applies to you and request the current total before paying. |
| You arrive close to closing time | The centre may stop accepting applications before the public closing hour. | Call for current last-token or appointment information instead of relying only on map hours. |
| Result has not arrived | Contact details, additional review, re-testing or a technical issue may affect delivery. | Check email/SMS and the official status route, then contact the responsible service with your application number. |
| Company group cannot be processed | Delegate/authorisation documentation or individual applications may be incomplete. | Check the company requirements before sending the whole group again. |
Laiq is not an emergency department
A residence medical-fitness deadline should never delay urgent treatment. Laiq is a screening centre, not a hospital emergency department and not a substitute for emergency assessment.
If a screening result raises a medical concern, follow the official medical service’s instructions or consult an appropriate licensed clinician. This article cannot diagnose the reason for a result, hold, repeat test or referral.
How to use Laiq reviews without treating them as medical evidence
Online reviews can be useful for practical visitor experience, but they change continuously and should not be used to prove today’s queue, a current fee, clinical quality or the outcome of a medical-fitness case.
| Review topic | Potentially useful for | Not reliable proof of |
|---|---|---|
| Waiting time | Helping you decide whether to leave more arrival time. | Today’s queue or current last-token availability. |
| Staff interaction | Understanding individual visitor experiences. | How your own screening or medical evaluation will be handled. |
| Fee comments | Reminding you to verify the total before travelling. | The current fee for your occupation or application. |
| Result timing | Showing that individual experiences can differ. | A guaranteed result time for your own application. |
Where to verify the information before your visit
Time-sensitive items such as centre hours, token availability, fee totals, appointment arrangements and application assignment can change. Use the source that is responsible for the specific part of your transaction rather than relying on an old directory entry or social-media post.
