Dear community,

I am a doctor and have recently been offered a job in Kuwait. I completed the verification of my credentials through the EPIC portal and the verification report has been sent to the Ministry of Health. It would be a big help if someone could answer the following queries:

1. What are the subsequent steps following submitting the documents to the MOH?

2. what is the processing time from verification to VISA and arrival in the country?

3. What is the mode of exam conducted by the MOH? (written/oral)

I appreciate your time in answering my queries.

@Methylco,

Many congratulations for getting an offer from MOH.Find below response for your queries

First of all you did not specify your nationality as the documentation process is different for Asian and Non Asians

1.Verification of credentials through EPIC is just a formality, however you will be advised to verify your Credentials through Ministry of Foreign affairs once you land in Kuwait for Asians and for Non-Asians you need to find out

2.It depends on MOH , if they really in shortage of staff the whole process can be finished in 4-6 weeks

3. MOH will not provide job offer until the interview formalities are completed. (Are you coming through any consultancy?)

However for Master Degree Graduate its only Oral interview but for Bachelor's Degree it's a written examination

Thank you for your reply.

I am an Indian. I am coming through a consultancy; however, they are as clueless as me in this matter. It has been more than eight weeks, although no notification has come from the MOH yet.
