FAQ
Your Questions About UAE Medical Licensing Answered
Everything you need to know — before you start your free application.
How long does UAE medical licensing take?
The average licensing timeline is 3–6 months, depending on the authority (DHA, MOHAP, or DOH) and your specialty. The DataFlow PSV process typically takes 4–8 weeks. MediFlow’s team can often fast-track this — many doctors receive their license within a matter of weeks. See DHA licensing details.
Is MediFlow really 100% free for doctors?
Yes — completely. MediFlow is a recruitment and licensing consultancy funded by UAE healthcare employers. You pay nothing at any stage — no registration fee, no processing fee, no hidden charges. Our revenue comes from hospital placement fees, not from doctors.
What is the difference between DHA, MOHAP, and DOH?
DHA (Dubai Health Authority) licenses doctors for Dubai. MOHAP (Ministry of Health & Prevention) covers all other UAE emirates — Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, Umm Al Quwain. DOH (Department of Health) covers Abu Dhabi. If you work in multiple emirates, you may need more than one license. Full licensing guide here.
Do I need to pass an exam to get licensed?
It depends on your specialty and licensing authority. Many experienced specialists are exam-exempt based on their qualifications and years of experience. For others, a Prometric or MOH exam may be required. MediFlow’s advisors assess your exact situation and provide targeted exam preparation if needed. See exam prep services.
What is DataFlow / PSV and why is it required?
DataFlow Primary Source Verification (PSV) is a mandatory background check required by all UAE health authorities. It verifies your medical degrees, licenses, and work history directly with the issuing institutions. This typically takes 4–8 weeks and costs AED 800–1,200. MediFlow guides you through the entire process. Learn about DataFlow support.
Can MediFlow help me with relocation to the UAE?
Absolutely. Beyond licensing, MediFlow offers full relocation coaching — housing advice, visa guidance, school recommendations, bank account setup, and cultural orientation. Our goal is to make your entire transition as smooth as possible. See relocation services.
