A Golden Opportunity: DHA’s New 3-Year Career Gap Rule is a Lifeline for Healthcare Professionals!
Have you been a dedicated nurse, doctor, or healthcare professional whose promising career in Dubai came to a sudden halt? Did a career break of more than two years—perhaps for family reasons, childbirth, or personal health—make you feel like the door to the UAE was closed forever?
If so, we have game-changing news for you. The Dubai Health Authority (DHA) has released a crucial update to its Professional Qualification Requirements (PQR), and it’s a beacon of hope for thousands.

The Old Problem: The Strict 2-Year Gap Rule
Until now, the rules were rigid. Healthcare professionals needed a recent experience certificate (less than two years old) to be eligible for a DHA license. If a candidate who previously worked in the UAE had a career gap of more than two years, they could not apply for re-eligibility.
This rule put many talented professionals in a difficult position. Life events like pregnancy, family emergencies, or health issues forced them to take a break. When they were ready to return, their careers were stuck. Sadly, this desperation led some down the dangerous path of using fake experience certificates, which often resulted in dataflow discrepancies and a lifetime ban, shattering their careers permanently.

The New Solution: The 3-Year Gap is Now Acceptable!
Understanding the challenges faced by many, the Dubai Government has made a compassionate and practical change.
According to the latest DHA PQR update, a career gap of up to three years is now acceptable for healthcare professionals seeking to reactivate their license or gain new employment in Dubai!
This means if you:
- Previously worked in the UAE and held a DHA license.
- Have a valid professional license from your home country.
- Had to take a career break for genuine reasons.
…you now have a legitimate pathway to return to your profession in Dubai, as long as your gap is within the new three-year limit.
