FAQ

Questions we hear every day

Why does my qualification need to be recognised?

For regulated professions (medicine, nursing, many engineering roles) you legally need formal recognition to practise in United Arab Emirates. For other professions, recognition makes it far easier to find work at the right level and salary.

How long does recognition take?

It depends on the profession and your documents. Academic and engineering recognition typically takes 6–14 weeks; regulated medical professions take 3–18 months. We submit a complete file so you avoid preventable delays.

What does it cost?

Our service fee depends on the track and is shown when you start your application. Authority fees and certified-translation costs are separate and confirmed to you up front — never a surprise.

Do you handle everything or just advise?

We handle it end to end: track confirmation, document gathering, certified translations, application preparation, submission and authority follow-up. You upload your documents; we do the rest.

Can I apply from outside United Arab Emirates?

Yes — most applications can be prepared and submitted remotely. We coordinate with you by email and WhatsApp throughout the process.
