Eight stages, ten to sixteen weeks. We handle every approval, exam, and embassy visit so you can focus on the role waiting at the other end.
YOUR JOURNEY
Eight stages, typically completed in 10 to 16 weeks. Documentation, licensing, and visa work run in parallel where they can, sequenced where they must.
First call with a Strive counsellor. We confirm your eligibility, shortlist destination countries, and walk through the realistic path ahead based on your qualification and experience.
Primary source verification of your degree, nursing license, and experience certificates. We coordinate with your colleges and previous employers so nothing stalls your file.
Country-specific licensing exam: SCFHS in Saudi Arabia, DHA in Dubai, HAAD in Abu Dhabi, QCHP in Qatar, MOH in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Oman. Includes preparation, booking, and re-attempt support if needed.
Direct interview with a sponsoring hospital. We coach you through their format, follow up on your behalf, and walk through the offer letter and contract terms when it lands.
MEA and embassy attestation of your credentials. We coordinate the chain end-to-end, including any apostille requirements.
Your sponsoring hospital initiates the work permit and entry visa. We track the application from your side and surface any document requests immediately.
Pre-departure medical examination, biometric capture, and final visa stamp. We line up the appointments so they happen back to back.
Destination authority issues your license to practice. We book your flight, arrange airport pickup, and stay with you through the first weeks of housing and onboarding.
Country-specific differences: the licensing authority and exam vary by destination. Saudi Arabia uses SCFHS, Dubai uses DHA, Abu Dhabi uses HAAD, Qatar uses QCHP, and Bahrain, Kuwait, and Oman use the local MOH. Your counsellor will confirm the exact body and exam for your destination during stage 01.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Every GCC deployment runs into the same handful of friction points. We've seen them often enough to surface them early and clear them before they delay your timeline.
Attestation and apostille can take weeks. We coordinate the chain end-to-end so nothing stalls your timeline.
OET / IELTS preparation and exemption guidance so you clear communication thresholds the first attempt.
Every GCC country has its own licensing body, documentation chain, and approval timeline. One misstep can delay your deployment by 6–8 weeks. Our approach surfaces issues early, not at the final approval.
TAKE THE NEXT STEP
