You would be given a 30 days visiting visa to travel to Uk and You will collect Your 3 year temporary residence and workpermit from uk government inside Uk.after flying and moving to the uk within 30 days of receiving your temporary 30 day visa.

You can only convert Your uk student visa to UK tier2 workvisa after passing UK plab1 and plab2 and getting a job and a job sponsorship letter there and you pay the visa conversion/ adjustment/ fees to the appropriate UK government agency/ authority there in the uk

I also heard You can do the IELTS ukvi academic before taking plab1 and still use the same IELTS ukvi academic result for applying for your uk tier2 work visa after passing plab 1 and plab2

Each ielts exam result only lasts two years.
Best Ielts test for plab is ielts ukvi academic

Saudi has presently stopped taking Medical officers from Nigeria

Waliyllahi:

Really? Why pls

elobyobi:

I know you're not an agent. Lol. I wish you were though. I'd have made more headway if I had a guiding hand.
One more question, but no pressure if u don't know the answer. You have done so much already.
How does one register for the UAE prometric exams?
(I don't even know what prometric means, but I'm sure I'll figure it out)

Good day ppl. I know the post is a bit old but I just stumbled upon it during my research about working in the gulf countries.. Please has anyone done the UAE prometeic exam or any doctor from Nigeria in UAE at the moment reading this post. Plz do reply to the post or DM me. Ur advice and suggestion would be really appreciated

tomakesenseMD:


Pls, Any luck with your research..??

clino:

Yet to meet any doctor from. Nigeria working in UAE. Nor anyone that has done their prometric exam. However I found a site where pq's on their exam could be gotten but could not get for my specialty. Maybe that made me loose enthusiasm for that site

Laird:





I am a Doctor not an agent

As quoted in the above post


Saudi"# 3 years post graduation requirement

There are 2 known Agents used by their government 1 male 1 female.....

Someone 1 know used male, Someone else I know used Female

Prefer the male, my ex friend had somesome slight delays with the female agent..
But he is in Saudi now mainly gp jobs

Saudi Ministry Of Health Affairs pays for tickets

You have to pay the agents, they will tell You about Medical screening, certifying your certificates and transcripts with nigerian ministry of foreign affairs, and getting You jobs



Hello Laird..

I know this post was put up quite a while back. I would really appreciate if I can get both agents' contacts as I am keenly interested.

Thank you.

Greetings from outside Nigeria.
Las las I finally japa
It is not all that I thought it would be. I am sad and depressed more often than I ever was in Nigeria.
But at least I have 24 hours light, good roads, better healthcare for myself and my son. And I'm actually making headway in terms of career progression.
You win some, you lose some. C'est la vie
