FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the exam exemption criteria?
Exemption depends on the Professional Qualification Requirements (PQR). Each case is assessed individually and the final decision rests with the examination committee. Documents are submitted at the time of application.
Can I apply without a home country licence?
No. You cannot apply for a UAE professional licence without one, and experience is only counted if it is licensed experience in your home country.
What is PSV in the UAE licensing process?
Primary Source Verification (PSV) checks the education, training, experience and credentials of practitioners applying for licensing in the UAE. It is performed independently by DataFlow, a third-party organisation.
What is a Good Standing Certificate (GSC)?
A certificate issued by the medical council or regulatory body that issued your previous healthcare licence.
How long is a Good Standing Certificate valid?
A GSC is valid for six months. For some countries, such as the UK, it is valid for only three months.
How long does the whole process take?
Once we have all the documentation, the process typically takes 8 to 10 weeks. It can take longer if more information is required, and DataFlow verification is handled independently and can add time.
