I have a friend here in the costa del sand pit,
She has been offered a job in the UK.

As a dentist.

She has paid xxx amount of money for the agency fee.

 

The question is will she have to pay more money to obtain the

assessment letter, in order for her to process her papers  .

She is a Philippine National.  

 

Or has any one any idea of the process for her.

 

Thanks in advance.

This email is from the UK Border Agency in Durham.

Thanks.

 

 On the receipt of your work permit form from your employer Mr XYZ. which has been sent to the office for your stamp of acceptance to work in the United Kingdom. Your documents are ready for execution and will be sending to you after the insurance certificate has been procured. We just want you to know that we went to the Court to get attestation letter from the British Attorney then they asked for your Insurance.

They said you must have an Insurance because all Citizen of the United Kingdom are insured with their life's and welfare. And so every incoming person to the UK must be insured under the British insurance policy. All you are asked to do is to make sure the insurance fee is paid as soon as possible to enable us get the papers today and send to you with the insurance certificate.

The insurance certificate must be provided before your papers can be fully approved for your coming. We have submitted all your documents that you sent to us for your papers and they have approved it. So all that is needed now is for you to pay for the Insurance for your papers to be completely stamped and send to you as soon as possible.
The Insurance fee is 800 pounds Sterling's and it has to be paid before your papers Released and send across to you.

We shall be waiting to hear from you as soon as possible for the onward release of your documents. please let us know when you are ready to make the payment so that we can provide you with another bank detail for the payment.

She will also need a EFAW certificate. This will cost £800 + vat + ipt.
please let us know when you are ready to make the payment so that we can provide you with another bank detail for the payment.

Note: a further payment will be required for the purchase of a flying pig.

If she is a qualified dentist, then get her to contact the British Dental Association for advice, there are plenty of Dental vacancies, and they will advise her if/how she could apply.

the use of the term 'attorney' is worrying as  it's not generally used in relation to practitioners of Law ( solictors, Barristers or Advocates)  and /or Notaries in the uk

Not having had dealings with UKBA for some time, I can't say for sure, but it set the SCAM alarm buzzing in my head - the English is all wrong - even if writing to your friend, at least the english would be correct, one would hope.  As mentioned, she really need to get in touch with the BDA, & possibly the UKBA - if there is a shortage of dentists, the profession will be listed as in need with UKBA & they can advise her of what to do - failing those 2 organisations, the Visa agency in UAE  or the Consulate may be able to advise, but she needs to steer clear of the cowboys who wrote to her.
 

1 other minor thing to consider is her training / experience - we had a similar situation in nursing - we had lots of nurses who'd worked in UAE, BUT had to undertake an adaptation programme before registration in the UK, but even if this is the case, the BDA / UKBA will be able to advise her.

 

Best of luck to her - we need NHS dentists in the UK!!
