Ex- Saudi Filipino nurse applying for NMC-UK

Published

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

I have the registration certificate from SCFHS and it was already translated to english. I can see "april 29, 2009." Would that be the registration date? my expiraion date is april 29, 2018 because my employer renewed my id before I left KSA. Thank you.

Perfect. Then that's it. It's the date of your certification. It should be around the date you arrived in KSA.

It's still a long way to go for me. Do you have a sample of your explanation letter for the RAV and exit stamp? Please if you can send it to my email, it would surely help me a lot. Thank you so much.:)

I know it can get overwhelming. But just take one step at a time.

For the RAV, SCFHS Riyadh actually filled up my form and sent it to NMC. All you have to do now is print your RAV for SCFHS and send it with good standing. No need to explain. NMC is aware of this already. Don't mix up your RAV for PRC and SCFHS.

For the exit stamp, I only explained it in email where I attached the translated document. Just like how I explained earlier.

oh ok. I see. Ho about for your Saudi Council? would you mind if i asked how much you paid for the translation? tnx.

You can have the exit stamp on your passport translated at the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos. Make sure to get a translator's declaration too, to avoid delays and resubmission. I had to resubmit mine because I failed to upload a translator's declaration. The Saudi Police Clearance is only valid for 3 months.

How long before I get the translate document? How much would it cost to have my documents translated? thanks

I didn't have to explain for saudi council because they accomplished my RAV.

I had my police clearance and saudi council certificate translated in Riyadh. I don't remember the cost anymore. But for my exit stamp I paid 2800 php for translation with the certification that they are legitimate company. I just sent an email. They said 3-5 working days but I received a scanned copy via email the following day. Then the hard copy via courier after two days. The company is Orange Translations.

Also, it was convenient for me to transact with Orange Translations. I didn't have to go to Manila for translation. It's a little bit pricey, but to be honest I have no idea how much other translation company would cost. So I have nothing to compare to.

I hope this information helps.

For your translation needs I would recommend the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos (NCMF) Office in QC, they have an official translator and it cost, 500/doc with declaration included.

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.

Hi, do you have a format of your explanation letter? Did you upload the explanation letter on the portal or did you just send it to the NMC? And lastly, do you still have a copy of the memo from the SCHFS? I hope you can email it to me.([email protected]) thanks in advance

I inquired NMC regarding my registration verification from saudi, and below was their response

"Thank you for your email.

In response to your query, we are aware that the Saudi Commission for Health Specialities do not always sign the Registration Authority Verification forms.

In this instance, please download and print the corresponding Registration Authority Verification Form for the SCFHS from your portal and send this to us with the Certificate and Good Standing. Please also include an explanation as to why the form is blank.

I hope this assists with your query.

Kind regards
