Why DHA License Applications Get Rejected

For healthcare professionals who seek to practice in Dubai, applying for a DHA (Dubai Health Authority) license is a major milestone. However, highly qualified doctors, nurses, and allied health professionals can be rejected. Many of the reasons for rejection are of a procedural nature rather than a professional one. Sometimes it is simply missing small details that lead to delays or outright refusals.

Missing Or Wrong Documentation

One of the top reasons for rejection is missing or wrong documentation. The DHA requires specific documentation forms, certificates, and IDs, all in a specific form. If you have even one required document missing or completed incorrectly, you run the risk of the application being rejected.

Wrong Attestation Processes

A further area of concern is wrong attestation processes. Document attestation for an applicant’s education and in-service experience must be undertaken according to the UAE’s requirements. If attestation is completed incorrectly, by an unrecognized authority, or in the wrong order, this means a rejection by the DHA of the documentation submission.

Unrecognized Institutions For Qualifications

Unrecognized institutions also present a challenge. The DHA maintains a list of approved universities and recognized training facilities, so it does not ultimately matter how much hands-on experience you have. If your degree or qualification is from another institution outside of the DHA’s approved list, it can mean additional verifications or no recognition at all.

Not Meeting The Specialty Experience Requirements

There are applicants who have not fulfilled their specialty experience requirements. Some roles require a certain number of years of specialty
experience, and where the applicant has failed to have sufficient experience, it will lead to an application rejection.

Technical Errors When Submitting Online

Technical errors when submitting online can lead to delays or subsequent refusals when you submit the wrong file type, unclear scans, or mismatching information.
