Healthcare Clinic in the UAE for Vietnamese nationals

Medical, dental, physiotherapy or aesthetic clinics and home healthcare services

Mainland company formation in Dubai is the right choice when your customers are inside the UAE, when you need a shop, clinic or contracting classification, or when visa quota matters. Choosing Dubai mainland gives you a licence that landlords, government departments and large corporate clients recognise without a second thought. In our experience, payments between Vietnam and the UAE are routine: the dirham is pegged to the dollar, Vietnamese dong (VND) transfers settle promptly and UAE banks are familiar with Vietnamese business profiles. As we tell every client, typical examples of this activity include dental clinic, physiotherapy centre, home healthcare and aesthetic clinic, which can usually sit together on one Dubai licence.

Why Dubai

Instant Licence lets some activities start within minutes with a one-year office exemption. Government and semi-government tenders in Dubai require a mainland licence and Chamber of Commerce membership, both of which GoldenKey arranges.

Frequently asked questions

Do I still need an Emirati partner for a Dubai mainland company?

For most commercial and industrial activities, no. Since 2021 foreign nationals can own 100% of a Dubai mainland LLC. A short list of strategic activities still requires Emirati participation, and GoldenKey checks your activity before you commit.

How long does Dubai mainland company formation take?

With paperwork and a tenancy contract ready, the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) normally issues the licence within 4 working days. External approvals for regulated activities add time.

What is the difference between Dubai mainland and a free zone?

Importantly, mainland companies can trade directly with any UAE customer and take government contracts; free zone companies have lower costs and customs benefits but trade with the mainland through distributors. GoldenKey compares both for your specific activity.

Is healthcare clinic allowed in Dubai?

Yes. Vietnamese nationals can own 100% of a healthcare clinic in the UAE. {brand} recommends Dubai for this activity and confirms any sector approvals before you commit.

Do Vietnamese nationals need a UAE visa before applying for Dubai?
