Total MOH cost planning (beyond exam fee)
Registration/evaluation: Commonly cited around AED 300, charged before you become eligible to book the exam.
DataFlow verification: Priced by package — AED 1,235 (about USD 336) for physicians and dentists, and AED 935 (about USD 255) for nurses, pharmacists, and technicians. A 5% VAT is added at checkout, and each extra document type beyond the standard package adds roughly AED 300.
Exam booking: Prometric CBT payment based on your MOH category — commonly USD 240–280.
License issuance: Charged after you pass, commonly cited around USD 200–400 (roughly AED 735–1,470) depending on profession and title.
Overall estimate: Adding every stage above, a full MOH application typically totals about AED 3,300–4,300 for physicians and dentists, and about AED 2,850–3,800 for nursing, pharmacist, and technician categories. Retakes repeat the Prometric fee only — not DataFlow or registration. See the full stage-by-stage table on our MOH exam guide.
Accuracy note
These figures are commonly reported estimates rather than a single official published fee table we could directly verify for every category. Fee values can differ by profession, title, and policy updates — always use your live MOHAP portal and Prometric screens as the final payable source before payment.
