Free GCC Medical License Eligibility Assessment
Find out if you qualify for a GCC medical license — UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain & Kuwait. Results within 24 hours. No obligation.
What Determines Your Eligibility?
GCC eligibility depends on a combination of factors — not just your degree. Our assessment evaluates all of them for your specific profession, country of graduation, and target authority.
GCC health authorities classify medical degrees from different countries into tiers that affect exam requirements and processing. Not all degrees from all institutions are automatically accepted. We verify your specific institution and degree.
Affects exam requirements & processingDifferent authorities require different minimum post-qualification experience. DHA and DOH typically require 1–2 years. UAE MOH accepts recent graduates with internship completion. SCFHS has specialty-specific requirements.
Varies by authority & specialtyYour specialty from your home country must be mappable to a GCC-recognised specialty. Some specialties have different naming conventions or classification systems in GCC countries — misclassification causes rejection.
Critical for correct applicationEligibility also depends on whether you have all required documents — degree, transcripts, experience certificates, good standing letter, internship letter. Missing documents must be obtained before application can proceed.
Assessed document by documentGCC health authorities classify degrees from different countries into tiers that affect exam requirements and processing. Degrees from certain countries require additional verification steps or may have different application pathways.
Determines attestation & DataFlow pathSome GCC authorities require evidence of English language proficiency. Requirements vary by authority, profession, and country of graduation. We confirm whether this applies to your specific situation.

Next Steps After Your Assessment
Once your eligibility is confirmed, the licensing process moves into document preparation, verification, and application. We manage all three in sequence.
We initiate the attestation chain for your documents — HRD, UAE Embassy, MOFA — immediately after eligibility is confirmed, as this is typically the longest step in the process.
Attestation Service →DataFlow primary source verification is initiated in parallel with attestation for UAE applications — both processes run simultaneously to minimise your overall timeline.
DataFlow Service →While attestation and DataFlow are in progress, we build your exam preparation plan — so you arrive at the portal submission stage ready to book and sit your exam without delay.
Exam Prep Service →Once attestation and DataFlow are complete and your exam is passed, we submit your complete license application through the correct portal — correctly, completely, once.
Application Service →License approval confirmed. We provide guidance on what comes next — employer credentialing, renewal timelines, and how to expand to additional GCC countries if desired.

We give honest assessments — including when GCC licensing is not currently possible. Understanding this upfront saves time and money. Many barriers can be resolved with the right preparation.
Most GCC authorities require 1–2 years of post-qualification clinical experience. Fresh graduates without an internship completion or without sufficient experience may not meet minimum thresholds.
Path: Gain experience then reapply — we advise on minimum requirementsDegrees from institutions not recognised by GCC authorities may require bridging qualifications or additional verification. Some institutions are permanently excluded from certain authority lists.
Path: We assess your specific institution and advise on available optionsSome specialties have no equivalent classification in the GCC authority’s recognition list. We identify the closest recognised equivalent and advise on any bridge requirements.
Path: Specialty mapping assessment — alternatives identified where possibleA previously revoked GCC or home country license is a significant barrier. Each case is assessed individually — some revocations can be addressed through remediation steps over time.
Path: Confidential review — honest assessment of realistic optionsMissing documents from institutions that no longer exist, have incomplete records, or cannot be contacted for verification can create insurmountable barriers for certain applications.
Path: We assess what alternatives exist before concluding ineligibilityEven if you’re not sure you’re eligible, the free assessment will tell you clearly — and if there are barriers, we’ll advise on what steps could resolve them over time. Nothing to lose.
