Each Gulf country, and inside the UAE each emirate, has its own regulator, portal and licence. So the choice of authority is the choice of destination. Pick where you want to work to see the authority, the exam vendor and who can open your file.
Your licence
DHA
Dubai Health Authority
“Book your Prometric” is wrong advice on two routes: Abu Dhabi (DOH) and Oman (OMSB) use Pearson VUE. And the file is not always yours to open: in Qatar it waits for the employer, and in Bahrain a non-Bahraini outside the country needs the facility to start it.
The full comparison, with sources for every row, is in which Gulf nursing licence to get. Requirements change; confirm on your regulator's portal before you book or pay.
The one for the place you want to work. A licence is tied to a jurisdiction: DHA for Dubai, DOH for Abu Dhabi, MOHAP for the Northern Emirates and federal facilities, SCFHS for Saudi Arabia, QCHP for Qatar, NHRA for Bahrain, OMSB for Oman and the Ministry of Health for Kuwait.
No. Abu Dhabi (DOH) and Oman (OMSB) route nursing exams through Pearson VUE. The other Gulf authorities use Prometric.
It depends on the authority. In Dubai you open the DHA file yourself; Qatar holds the request pending with the employer; for a non-Bahraini outside Bahrain the facility opens the NHRA file.
