Filipino Registered Nurses: Philippine Credentials
Filipino registered nurses hold a BSN from a CHED-accredited Philippine institution and a PRC nursing licence from the Professional Regulation Commission. Most have two or more years of post-registration clinical experience. Gulf licensing authorities require DataFlow primary source verification of the PRC licence before the authority-specific licensing examination.

DHA Licensing for Filipino Registered Nurses in Dubai
All healthcare professionals in Dubai require a DHA licence. For registered nurses this involves DataFlow verification of Philippine qualifications, then the DHA licensing examination or competency assessment depending on role category. DHA licensing covers Dubai Emirate only and does not transfer to Abu Dhabi or other Emirates. We present candidates with active DataFlow status and advise on current DHA examination requirements.

Dubai Employer Questions
DHA licensing involves DataFlow primary source verification of Philippine qualifications, the DHA licensing examination or competency assessment, and in some cases an English language assessment. The process typically takes 3 to 5 months from DataFlow submission to full DHA licensure.
No. DHA licensing is specific to Dubai Emirate only. It does not transfer to Abu Dhabi or other Emirates. If your organisation operates across multiple Emirates you will need candidates licensed for each relevant authority. We clarify this at brief confirmation.
From confirmed brief to shortlist typically takes 3 to 5 weeks. Total timeline to candidate arrival in Dubai is typically 3 to 4 months depending on DHA examination scheduling and visa processing. We provide a timeline estimate on your discovery call.
