What Gulf authorities usually look at
The exact rules differ by authority and profession. These four things matter almost everywhere.
Qualification
Your diploma or degree in your field, with mark sheets and practical training certificates.
Registration or proof
Council registration where your profession has one, or other proof of your training and practice.
Experience
Years of work in your speciality, shown through letters with dates, department and designation.
Licensing exam
A computer-based exam for your category, where one applies to your profession.
How your qualification affects your category
Authorities usually separate technicians from technologists and specialists, based on your qualification.
Technician level
Diploma holders, such as DMLT or diploma in radiography, are usually placed at technician level, with their own exams and roles.
Technologist or professional level
Degrees such as BMLT, BPT, B.Pharm or BSc in your field usually open higher categories and more employers.
Specialist or senior level
Master's degrees, Pharm.D and specialist training can lead to senior or specialist roles, along with relevant experience.
Good to know: Some paramedical professions in India do not have a council registration. In that case, authorities may ask for other proof such as training certificates and experience letters. We tell you what applies to your profession. Depending on your qualification and passport category, emigration clearance may also apply when you travel.
