The Good Stuff
Helpful guidance
Customers often say staff explain the medical examination clearly and guide applicants through each step.
Mall parking
The Dragon Mart setting offers ample parking, and the centre is inside the mall on the first floor.
Clean setting
Reviews describe the facility as clean, quiet and well-maintained, which makes the waiting and examination process more comfortable.
Weekend option
One weekend visitor found it uncrowded, helping the application move along at a reasonable pace.
Card accepted
Card payment is accepted, according to a long-standing customer review.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check fees. Ask about the branch service fee before paying; reviews report AED 110 or more on top of the online application charge.
Use Entrance 5. If driving, park near the mall’s Nesto area and use Entrance 5, then go to level 1.
Try weekends. A weekend visit was reported as uncrowded, so this may help if you want to reduce queue time.
Bring photos. Bring two photos, but confirm the current photo requirements because some applicants were asked to take a new white-background picture for an extra fee.
Confirm visa use. If your application is for a Dubai GDRFA residency visa, confirm in advance that this EHS test is accepted for your case.
Allow time. Even though some customers finish in 10–15 minutes, reports of longer waits mean it is safer not to schedule a tight follow-up.

The Bottom Line
Dragon Mart Medical Examination Center is a federal government office in International City for residency visa medical tests. Customers use it for medical fitness applications, including the required blood test and X-ray, and many describe a smooth visit completed in 10–15 minutes. Staff are often praised for explaining the steps clearly and being supportive, while the facility is described as clean, quiet and organised.
The Dragon Mart location is convenient if you are already at the mall. Reviews point to plentiful parking, with one visitor recommending the roof near Nesto and another suggesting Entrance 5 before going to level 1. A weekend visit was reportedly uncrowded, although the experience is not consistent: some applicants finished quickly, while others waited 30 minutes or longer.
Check the full cost before starting. Several reviews mention an additional AED 110 branch service fee, and another reports AED 120; one customer also paid AED 25 for a white-background photo. Online bank transfer was reportedly not accepted, so confirm payment methods.
Finally, ask about visa eligibility if applying through Dubai GDRFA, and raise any concerns about blood collection, as some reviewers reported painful bruising or a haematoma.
