Gulf Professional Licensing
Professional Licensing to Practise in the Gulf
How internationally-trained professionals get licensed to practise in the Gulf — the DataFlow primary-source verification and Prometric licensing exams, and the per-profession routes for nurses, doctors, pharmacists, engineers and teachers, plus which UAE health authority (DHA, DOH or MOHAP) licenses you.
Working in a regulated profession in the Gulf usually needs a licence from the relevant authority, which is different from studying. Almost every route runs through DataFlow verification and, for healthcare, a Prometric exam. These guides explain each step and profession.
Regulators, exams and fees are set by each country/authority and change; confirm current requirements on the official regulator's website. This is general information, not professional-licensing or immigration advice.
