You license will be rated according to a Tier classification; an official UAE acknowledgement of medical education. Tier 1: UK, USA, Sweden, Canada and Australian; Tier 2: The Netherlands, India, Sudan, Egypt etc. In case > 5 years experience: transfer to Tier 1 is possible. (Yes, this can be very frustrating, as the Tier classification has an impact on your position and salary level. For this reason we did set up Dutch Doctors Dubai and have engaged many times with Dutch Government to get this rating revised – yet so far little support and progress).
