Hi, a new subscriber here. I’m planning on moving to Saudi and I started my research which led me to your channel. I got really good info, thank you. Could you please tell us how much one would spend in naira from the licensing exams and all ? Also, how long would it take for someone to secure a job after passing the licensing exams at most? Again, how to apply. Is it better through agents or online. Would really appreciate if you could do a video on that. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@DrTabat]

Hello Dr. Glad to read this. There is a video of mine on the steps to move to Saudi in which I gave the ranges for the various steps. However with the value of naira now, you will have to convert to have an idea of the overall cost but it is still pretty expensive. Usually, the hospitals here employ via agencies and unfortunately, I don't know of any functional one currently. The one that I used stopped working for a while. I wish you all the best in your moves to come over

[@khadeejahharun7676]

Alright, thank you. What about the average time spent from passing the SMLE and securing a job?

[@DrTabat]

@khadeejahharun7676 that would actually depend on the efficiency of the agencies in securing you a job...I think the earliest is 3 months though...but it's usually around 6 months or so

Can you do medical residency training in Saudi Arabia and do you have any application link?

[@DrTabat]

Yes you can. I do not have any application link. What you can do is research online about the various institutions that offer the Specialty of your choice and their requirements. I did a video on that stating the steps but each institution will have their peculiarities also. All the best in your pursuit

@@DrTabat thanks

[@DrTabat]

You're welcome

When can one apply as an MO

[@DrTabat]

I don't think there is a window for that. You could apply at any time. But i am not sure if the Saudi Ministry of Health is currently recruiting doctors

[@johnuche6423]

​​@@DrTabatMy chief, please can you assist me in getting a Masters program there in Saudi Arabia?

[@DrTabat]

@johnuche6423 the only assistance I can give is to help you with the relevant information as much as I can find. There are many tertiary institutions here that you can apply for and hope they accept your application into their masters program. They will have various requirements (both in terms of academic and finances) which you will have to meet. These are things that you can research on their websites

[@yhubieabasi5657]

​@DrTabat thank you chief for the response. I have made so few findings, and I was told Saudi is currently not employing doctors. That Oman, Kuwait, UaE, and Qatar are doing so. Please chief any info on this

[@DrTabat]

@@yhubieabasi5657 true. They haven't been doing so for a while. Reach out to me via any of my contacts in the description (preferably on whatsapp)
