Nurses are among the most in-demand professionals in the UAE, but the licensing route depends on the emirate where the hospital is located.
Which authority?
- DOH for Abu Dhabi
- DHA for Dubai
- MOHAP for the northern emirates
Typical steps
- Primary-source verification of your degree and registration
- Online exam or eligibility letter
- Licence issuance, usually arranged by the hospital
Allow six to ten weeks from offer to licence. Good employers cover the licensing exam and registration, so check this clause in your contract.
