Tools

Work out where you stand, for free

Four tools that answer the questions people usually pay someone to answer: which of the 17 GCC authorities you can register with, what the regulator will charge you, what documents to gather, and how long the process takes. No payment step in any of them.

Which tool answers your question?

Eligibility checker

Which authority can you register with?

Five questions about your profession, qualification, experience and target country. It returns the authorities you are likely eligible for, what each requires next, and the regulator costs involved.

About three minutes

Cost calculator

What will the regulator charge you?

Choose an authority, a profession and the number of documents to verify. It itemises the regulator and verification fees, in AED and INR, from our published figures file.

About one minute

Document checklist

What do you need to gather?

The document set your authority requires, in the order it should be assembled, including which items need attestation and which expire.

About two minutes

Timeline estimator

How long will it take?

The published stage-by-stage duration for your authority, so you can work backwards from a start date and see where the slack actually is.

About one minute

Why are these free?

Because the information in them is public, and charging for public information is how this market got its reputation. Every regulator publishes its fees and requirements somewhere. The work is finding them, keeping them current and putting them in one place, which is what our figures file does.

The commercial logic is straightforward and we would rather state it than pretend otherwise: people who find out exactly where they stand sometimes decide they want help getting there. People who find out they do not need us cost us nothing, and they tell other people.

What can a tool not tell you?

The published requirements are one thing. How a regulator reads your particular file is another, and no calculator settles it.

  • Which title or grade you will be classified at. This depends on how your qualification maps to that authority's own list, and it materially affects what you can be employed as.
  • Whether your specific documents will satisfy the assessor. A certificate signed by the wrong person is a common reason for rejection and no tool can see your certificate.
  • Whether a rejection is recoverable. Most are, but establishing that means reading the rejection.

Those are the questions the free eligibility consultation exists for. The tools are the honest first pass, and they are enough on their own for plenty of people.

What else do people ask about the tools?

Are these tools really free?

Yes. There is no payment step in any of them. The eligibility checker asks for an email address if you want the full personalised checklist sent to you as a document, and you can use the tool and read the result on screen without giving us anything.

How accurate are the results?

Every figure comes from our published regulator fees file, which carries a review date and was last checked in September 2026. The tools are indicative rather than a decision: they tell you what the published requirements are, not what a regulator will decide about your particular file.

Does the cost calculator include your fee?

No, and it never will. It shows what the authority charges you, paid by you directly to the authority. Our advisory fee is quoted separately after a free eligibility consultation and does not appear in any calculator on this site.

Will using a tool put me on a mailing list?

Only if you ask us to send you something. We do not add people to marketing sequences for using a calculator, and there is an unsubscribe link on anything we do send.

What if the tool says I am not eligible?

Read what it says is missing, because that is usually the useful part: a qualification that needs equivalency, experience that is short by a year, or a registration you have not obtained yet. Most people who get a negative result are a defined step away rather than permanently ineligible.
