Hello fellow nurses... I'm glad I bumped into this thread. All the information you have posted is really helpful. I am also an ex-saudi nurse and I left the kingdom in 2017. I have also the same dilemma regarding the completion of my regulation authority verification form from saudi council. I asked one of my friends there to bring the form in saudi council in tabuk branch where I previously worked but they refused to fill up the form. I called NMC today to ask for their advice regarding this matter but the agent who answered my call told me to email my concerns in overseas.inquires. So I'm still waiting for the reply of the NMC. One of my concerns also is that I have almost a year of unregistered practice in KSA. I started working in KSA in july 2013 and they released my saudi council in june 2014... I dont know if I could secure an explanation letter from my previous employer regarding this, because its really difficult to communicate with them.. I also recently requested for a copy of cert of good standing from saudi council online but the cert that they have issued to me states that I've been registered as a technician of nursing since 2017. Its supposed to be since 2014. Before I left the kingdom in 2017 I renewed my saudi license and it is still valid until 2022. I don't know but maybe they based my registration date on my current saudi council license.? I emailed them regarding this matter but they haven't replied yet... I hope someone could share with me a sample of the explanation letter that you have sent to NMC regarding a blank RAV form.... Here's my email address:
[email protected] did you send only a photocopy of your saudi license id together with a blank RAV form or should it be certified true copy?
