International applicants

An offer, registration and a visa are three different decisions.

Resolve the full pathway before committing money, leave or relocation.

01

Check programme eligibility

Confirm the programme accepts your training level and country of qualification. An international-facing page does not automatically mean every applicant is eligible.

02

Map the regulatory pathway

Identify the medical regulator, registration category, primary-source verification, exams, language evidence and processing time.

  • Ask whether patient care is permitted under the proposed registration
  • Confirm who submits or sponsors each application
  • Keep programme acceptance separate from regulator approval
03

Clarify participation

Ask what you can observe, assist with and perform under supervision. Clinical titles alone are insufficient evidence of hands-on access.

04

Build the complete budget

Include fees, registration, exams, immigration, travel, accommodation, insurance and income foregone. Treat unstated funding as unknown.

05

Get key terms in writing

Before accepting, confirm role, supervision, salary or fee, start date, leave, insurance, registration responsibility and withdrawal terms.
