Moving to the United Arab Emirates with a disability

Bhavna

Hello everyone,

Having a disability should not be a barrier to living abroad. While the intricacies of oneÂ’s move to the United Arab Emirates may be specific to the individual, certain steps can be undertaken to make the process smoother.

What are the important aspects you would personally keep in mind during the planning phase (social security benefits, ongoing medical treatment, etc.)?

Are you required to go through a medical check-up before your move?

Are there any organisations or groups who lend support to °µÍø½ûÇøriates who have a disability?

What are your thoughts on the infrastructure in the United Arab Emirates (public spaces, transportation and buildings)?

Are there enough opportunities to make the most of your social life in the United Arab Emirates? Are leisure activities made accessible to people with disabilities? 

Please do share your experience with us.

Hey Bhavna,

Rightly said, a disability should never be a factor to hampers ones ability to be mobile.

The point is, UAE is a wonderful place with security and access to world class facilities and services if one can afford it. The country is quite particular about people of special care and attention that we have designated space at road side, mall and public parking areas, even buses and metros are been alotted space for those who require it.

The infrastructure to support support people with special care is provided.

Hope this helps.
