All figures are approximate 2026 ranges, converted at fixed rates (USD 1 = INR 88, PKR 280, PHP 57). Authorities change fees without notice and your bank adds its own card charge, so confirm the amount on the official portal at the moment you pay.
Who runs the exam?
The Oman Medical Specialty Board (OMSB) sets and administers the licensing examinations; the Ministry of Health issues the licence to practise. Private-sector applications go through the Ministry's private health establishments directorate. You will deal with both names in one application (Bahrain and Oman licence guide, OMSB page).
Exam format and pass mark
- Single-best-answer questions on computer at a Prometric centre
- 100–150 questions in two to three hours depending on the category
- Pass mark about 60%
- The clinical blueprint matches the other Gulf authorities, so one preparation covers Oman, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar (pass scores by authority)
By profession
- Nurses — base exam fee; the employer normally opens the file. Details in the Oman exam for nurses guide.
- Doctors — GPs at the base fee, specialists at the upper end; three or more documents to verify raises the DataFlow cost.
- Pharmacists — base exam fee; practise with the Pharmacist question bank.
Omanisation and what it means for your budget
Oman reserves a growing share of health posts for nationals, so the number of openings for expatriates in some categories is smaller than in the UAE or Saudi Arabia. The practical consequence: do not pay for DataFlow and the exam for Oman alone without a job offer in hand. If you are building a Gulf file speculatively, verify for an authority with more vacancies and transfer the report later (DataFlow guide, best GCC country for nurses).
