Insider Tips
Insider Tips
- Confirm the specific medical certificate format required by your UAE employer or licensing body before getting your certificate issued — reformatting or reissuing a medical document after the fact adds weeks to your timeline.
- Healthcare professionals should start the medical credential attestation process at least 8 weeks before their planned UAE employment start date, as health authority verification runs in addition to standard MOFA timelines.
- If your medical certificate references diagnostic codes (ICD-10), ensure they match the current version used by UAE health authorities to prevent verification delays.
