Hi, I have been researching, but I still can't figure it out - is there an exam or not for DHA licence? Do I just send out my documents and get a licnece eventually, or I have to pass an exam at the end. I am a Croatian internal medicine specialist, nephrologist and I am interested in moving to UAE for work. What are my chances? Do I look for a job first or would it be easier to get a licence before all? Thanks in advance!

Hi! You cannot work or practice your profession in UAE without getting a license. You need to pass the exam first, either HAAD if you are planning to work in Abu dhabi or DHa if you want to find work in Dubai. Getting a job as a specialist in UAE is actually not a problem because there are a lot of openings but the exams are tough. As long as you have a license, finding a job will be a piece of cake. Goodluck!

Thank you for the answer. Do you know where the exam takes place? Do I have to go to UAE or is there an international version of the exam that I can take?

You need to fly to UAE to sit the exam. They do not hold off exams for Specialists in other countries.

Dear,

I am a Italian Clinical Psychologist , I want to move to Dubai for work, I started DHA application but when I have to pay the fees with my mastercard the process failed, Do you know what should I do and if I have to pay with arabic creditcard? I have written many times to DHA eService but I don't have any response from they....Now I don't know what can I do!

There is someone who knows what  should I study and how the oral examination will be held for Psychologists?

I hope to receive your advice about it.

Hi I have done the DHA Licensing process as a dentist. If the exam is a computer multiple choice one, you might be able to sit it in your country at a test centre.

Hi
Is UAE nurses paid better than the Aussie/Newzealand nurses.?
How is the lifestyle and standard of living different in both the areas.?
What would be a potential immigrant nurse's first preference amoung the countries ., in Hw present job scenario.?

rudsmom

yes unfortunately the DHA online application payment only accepts locally issued credit cards. their system really sucks. and really poor customer service. If you know someone who is in UAE, it would help you a lot.

Does anybody know how long does it takes for HAAD to give you your nursing licensure? My haad stated submitted: may 7. Status: in progress. Modified by: CSO. Am I even close to getting my license?
