Health Fees Block Renewal
Decision No. 66 of 2026 stipulates that work and residence permits may not be issued or renewed for covered residents until the mandatory health insurance contribution has been paid. The contribution is paid annually in advance and collected by the Labour Market Regulatory Authority. Coverage includes employees of employers and their dependent family members up to the age of 24, as well as certain other categories. Government employees and their dependants, along with domestic workers, are exempt. The insurance covers primary and secondary healthcare, emergency care and treatment for accidents. The decision took effect on October 31, 2026, and applies when permits issued before that date are renewed.
