Ex- Saudi Filipino nurse applying for NMC-UK

[dee_nightingale]

Hi there!

I just want to ask somebody here who has experience in processing for the NMC-UK with a previous experience in Saudi Arabia. Herewith are the requirements for an ex-saudi nurse to comply. Please do correct me if there are any mistakes or errors.

1 . Final EXIT Visa in ENGLISH

2. Police Clearance from Saudi Arabia - translated and stamped by the Chamber of Commerce

3. NMC FORMS - License verification from SCFHS to NMC ( to be filled up and sent )

4. Employment certificate from Saudi

- needs to have details of sick leave

-reference letter from employer less than six months with official stamp

5. Good Standing Certificate - less than six months

6. SCFHS Certification ( Gray Colored Certificate) copy in with english translation

7. Copy of SCFHS card

I know these are a lot but I just wanted to clarify on how do I obtain these especially that it has been a year since I worked from the hospital. Is it necessary to have these forms completed? thanks for the help.

TIPS and advice are very much needed. Thank you

But the problem is it is over a month now and it is indicated in my mumaris plus portal "no certification found".. i left Saudi last 2017. Can NMC accepts other docs.in lieu of COGs.???

good day,kindly help me as I do not have Certificate of good standing,i emailed mumaris no. of times but until now i have not received any reply yet. Do NMc consider,police clearance,exit stamp,COE and official translation accompanied with explanation letter why i cannot procure COGs in lieu of my COGS?

thank i

If you don’t have CoGS, the only and best you could submit is the RAV filled up by the scfhs. You can have the cogs by logging-in in your mumaris plus account. Pay via sadad or credit card. You’ll receive the certificate right after payment.

for COGS you need to use the mumaris plus. once requested Scfhs will send you a SADAD transaction number and you need to ask someone within the kingdom to pay it 4 u thru samba,alrahji or ncb..creditcard from outside the kingdom is not accepted. once paid, SCFHS will email your COGS right away.

I paid my COGS using my credit card, I was outside the kingdom, and I received my certificate.

Police Clearance and other documents you have have nothing to do with the registration of your practice in SCFHS. Remember, you are providing CoGS for the registration of your practice in the country.

CoGS is the easiest, simplest, and ONLY alternative the NMC gave to applicants after SCFHS stopped filling out the RAV forms. You may call the NMC regarding your concerns for better and more definite answer.

u can try providing them letter of explanation if you’ve got anyone to pay for you inside KSA. NMC is actually understanding as long as you give them valid reasons.

[ael22]

I already emailed NMC regarding my case. I hope that they could consider this as I am already helpless with my COGs. I already tried everything.

hello, try to contact saudi council using twitter. Make sure you will translate your tweet in arabic. They immediately respond there as what I have read from other posts.

Hi there. I had been busy for the past few weeks on my application process. Sorry for the delay in responding to all the threads. With regards to my application, I had sent all the requirements to NMC and I am waiting for their feedback and queue for the DL. Some good friends online had helped me through with the application process. I also had emailed the NMC regarding my status so I will have a proof/basis for the requirements that were sent out to them in case they will ask why.

To start with,

1. I had printed all the forms from the NMC. I had given the school forms to the office of the DEAN and requested for breakdown of theory hours and course description. After that, they asked me to forward these to the office of the registrar to have all those three documents stamped and attached the Schools official TOR. So all in all I have 4 documents in one sealed pack. ( NMC forms, breakdown, course description and TOR ) Make sure to take note the start and end date as these will be reflected on the portal.

2. Next is the PRC form. Just present the form and they know what to do about it. I paid 75 for the document and 25 for the stamp. However , the shipping and mailing fee costs about 3000 PHP. I just opted for them to send it anyway so as I will not be coming back to the PRC office since it will take around 3 - 5 days to process the form.

3. This is the most "crucial part". lol. This is the second form of the post registration section for the SCFHS. As per advised by the NMC , they told me to just print a blank form and enclose the Certificate of Good Standing. This can be obtain by requesting it online which costs around 300 riyals. Also, I had written an explanation letter regarding my blank forms and attached the official announcement from the saudi council that they are not processing verification forms but instead they are issuing Good Standing certificate in lieu of it.

4. With regards to the police clearance, I still had uploaded and submitted it with a translation from the NCMF together with my exit stamp and visa ( from muqeem portal/online visa). Though it was uploaded in the portal, I sent it on the pack since the dry seal from the translations is not visible in the PDF files with an explanation attached to it.

For the Saudi certificate, I was able to obtain it. I had just attached the translation as one PDF file and my ID and uploaded it on the portal. But with my case, I still had forwarded the original copy since the translator is using the dry seal and it is not visible in the upload.

5. Work experience forms - I personally had emailed the council about this. I explained to them about my case that I can't be able to process these forms to be filled up by my recent employer in Saudi . With that being said, they told me that I can opt to have my referrals from home country as long as it is a continuous 12 months experience and is filled up by a senior or medical practioner. So all of my referrals were from my first employer to which I had worked for three years.

6. Declaration of Good Health - I was advised by my agency to have my medical exam already so I just presented it to the clinic and the examining doctor filled it up. However, for those who will choose to have their own personal doctor to examine them,, make sure you don't work in the same employer or he or she is not related to you.

So I guess this would be all. I am still waiting for result.

Hey. I just encountered a problem with NMC and they told me my saudi council RAV was lost and now my DL is still on the wait list because of the missing RAV. They just told me to attach a blank RAV and a good standing certificate together with a letter.

Where can I get that official announcement thingy?????? I think I need that as well.

I have yet to send it tomorrow.

There’s no need for the announcement from the SCFHS. Just submit your blank RAV with your COGS. It will be much better if you’ll include an explanation letter why your RAV is blank, and screenshot of your Mumaris Plus portal showing the date of issuance of your COGS just to show it’s the latest or within 3months upon issuance. This is what I did when I submitted my requirements. I received my DL 20days after.

Good luck! ?
