UAE has no single national evaluator. For academic degrees, the Ministry of Higher Education & Scientific Research (MOHESR) issues the Equivalence Certificate (Tasdeeq / Adaada) — load-bearing for Golden Visa, federal employment, post-graduate study, and licensing. Maps the landscape, fees, and the attestation chain that runs through MEA + UAE Embassy + MoFAIC.
Step-by-step MOHESR portal application — account creation, document upload, fee payment, follow-up. Calibrated for Indian Bachelor / Master / Doctorate degrees with full attestation chain through MEA + UAE Embassy + MoFAIC.
For doctors, nurses, pharmacists, allied health: DHA Sheryan (Dubai), DOH Tamm-Tasneef (Abu Dhabi), MOHAP (Northern Emirates) — each runs DataFlow Primary Source Verification + a profession-specific licensing exam. Calibrated for Indian-trained MBBS, BDS, B.Pharm, BSc Nursing.
For non-medical skilled workers (engineers, accountants, IT, finance, technicians): MoHRE classifies skill into Levels 1-5, drives work-permit category, and references MOHESR equivalence + experience evidence. Submitted via Tasheel typing centre.
Cabinet Resolution No. 21 of 2022 — Golden Visa Specialised Talent route. Maps recognised institutions, salary / achievement thresholds, ministry endorsement procedure, and how Indian-context clients (top 500 university PhDs, AED 30K+ professionals, distinguished researchers) qualify.
When MOHESR equivalence is denied, DHA / DOH / MOHAP licensing exam fails, or DataFlow PSV returns negative — covers re-evaluation, secondary assessment, and alternative pathways (free-zone licensure, equivalent-profession recognition, MoHRE downgrade-then-upgrade).
