Why Dubai

Dubai for Indian doctors

Indian doctors and nurses registered with the NMC (National Medical Commission) or INC (Indian Nursing Council) look at Dubai for tax-free salaries 3-5x higher, Prometric exams available in Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad and Kolkata without leaving India, and the largest expatriate community in the UAE's healthcare sector.

Dubai is one of the best-paid healthcare hubs in the world. Tax-free salaries (0% income tax), premium medical insurance for you and family, hospital-subsidized housing in many cases, annual round-trip ticket home, and a healthcare system combining top-tier infrastructure with cutting-edge tech. Growing Latin American community, especially in Jumeirah and Downtown.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much do Indian doctors and nurses earn in Dubai?
A DHA-licensed nurse earns AED 7,000-15,000 gross per month (up to AED 25,000 with seniority), tax-free. A general practitioner earns AED 18,000-28,000/month, and a specialist AED 30,000-60,000/month. On top: premium medical insurance, annual flight to India, and subsidized housing in many hospitals.
Does my NMC/INC registration and AIIMS, CMC Vellore or JIPMER degree work in Dubai?
Yes. The DHA recognizes degrees from accredited Indian institutions (AIIMS, CMC Vellore, JIPMER, Maulana Azad, Grant Medical College, KGMU, Kasturba Medical College, Armed Forces Medical College) with valid NMC or INC registration. You need to legalize the degree and academic transcript, and pass Dataflow Verification, which contacts the university and state council directly. Bookahospi manages the full package from India.
Can I take the Prometric exam without travelling to Dubai, and what about my family?
Yes, the Prometric exam for DHA licensing is available at centres in Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata and Ahmedabad, without needing to travel to the UAE first. Once hired, the hospital sponsors your Employment Visa (2-3 renewable years) and, with Emirates ID, you can sponsor your spouse and children with a Family Visa by showing a minimum salary of AED 4,000/month — comfortably covered in healthcare.
