Hello Amulya!

Well,if you are in India now,you can go to the website www.prometric.com and get to know the exam details there.To work in Qatar,one needs to pass the Prometric exam,if you are a graduate in either Dental or Medical field.You can easily book an exam date ,online,by paying 200$,and select the location/time of the exam,as well as get the hall ticket instantly.

After you take the exam,and pass,you will get a printout of the marks and status.With this you can apply to the various Dental Clinics/Hospitals for a job.Some may acept 2 years experience/some other require 3.

Thats the first part.

The SCH,Supreme Council of Health,will do an Evaluation of your documents/certificates ,after submitting it.(After you get a job offer.)This may take many months,you need patience!

Once that is over,your Employer will send you the Visa .After you reach there,you will have to undergo a detailed Medical Examination at the Medical Commission of SCH.(Chest X ray for T.B, Hepatitis B/C and HIV.)After the results,you will proceed for fingerprinting and thereafter Police Clearence Certificate and finally Resident Permit(Visa).

I hope i made it clear to you!

I just underwent the whole process,recently!

If you have any more doubt,you can email me at [email protected]

Best of Luck!
