Add the new-licence application and initial approval fee — AED 1,000 for most categories, AED 2,000 for hospitals and the larger outpatient and long-term-care centres, AED 500 for a first aid unit — and the inspection fee, which is AED 2,000 for most clinics, AED 3,000 for those larger centres, AED 4,000 for a hospital and AED 1,000 for a nursery clinic. Every clinician then needs their own licence activated — AED 1,000 a year for nurses, allied health and TCAM and AED 3,000 a year for physicians and dentists, separate from the AED 200 registration. A longer term is always cheaper: two years costs 1.75× the annual fee, three years 2.5×. DHA publishes a 5-working-day delivery time for a new facility licence. These are DHA fees only — they exclude the trade licence, municipality approvals, work permits and residence visas.",
