Malaikum Asalam!
Happy Ramadan!
great to have a chatroom like this. keep up the goodwork. Ang galing naman. Kumusta na ang buhay sa Riyadh. Malamig na rin ba diyan? Hope we can visit you in Riyadh. Wish I can still practise here in KSA but unfortunately hindi maganda ang nakukuha namin offer.

Hi everyone!

Just to let you know that someone from New York is a member of this group.

If anyone of you happens to stop by here, please send me an offline message --- it would be great to meet you here and maybe see NY again and again with a Kababayan and speak in our own dialect because sometimes it's a bit tiring to be just speak in English all the time you know!

So, I'll see you soon?

Haluu Thanks for the info last time. Worried me ...akala ko napano ka na.
Pwede po ba magtanong ulit. Got plans of going to London by February. Any idea how to apply for a job there. May sponsor kami kaya lang visit visa lang ang kukunin namin. Any idea kung puwede o paano ako makapag-apply ng work doon.
Thanks ulit!
Masalam

hi! don't know if u still need the info but I'll share kung anong alam ko. You're asking about how to apply in saudi? You can apply direct sa POEA, then wait for them to call you if there's an interview sa SRO for job opening.

Hello everyone! update ko lng tong thread... as of now, marami ng requirements before you can practice here.. like BLS, prometrics.. pero nakayanan naman.. ( not like before na under ka lng sa MOH, renewable license).. now, 3 years yung card, then parang US na before ka magrenew, BLS naman and continuing education 60 units for specialist category & 30 units for PT technician...
swerte mo if sa Govt hospital ka...good sa private hospital... 50/50 ka if private center.. baka gawin kang masahista... other private centers, both PT and massage..> salary + commission.. marami magpamasahe kaysa magpaPT... may nagrekalmo nga nga sa OFW.guide eh..
ako, nasa private PT center.. catering all kinds of problems, except sa pedia cases like CP.. refer namin sa ibang center na one exit away..
and if mapadpad ka dito, matutu kang magsalita ng Arabic...

[sundance]

That is the prob of Saudi. Maybe they think PT is masahista. There are many better middle east countries than Saudi like UAE, Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, etc. Yes stay away from small facility.

Hi,

Guys any feedback about working as PT in Saudi Arabia?

Thank you!

[kristiano]

pt2003, ok lng naman kahit private center.. maliit ang sahod but better than nothing at home, or agawan ng homecare..

[pt2003]

Guys!

I just need more insights, feedback, suggestions, or anything that you can share about working in Saudi Arabia as a physical therapist.

Thank you.! ;D
