From a chef on a WP to a British national doctor living in Germany?

its on behalf of friends and family.
did not know it was a personal notice board.and no i'm not getting advice from this website and charging people for it, nor do i gain any benefit from it.

If you can claim to be someone else, not sure how true this claim may be. Pretending to be someone else doesn't help .. only adds to the confusion. If a query is on behalf of someone, just state so! No point in assuming someone's identity.

Coming back to the query,
1. What is the primary qualification (from Libya) that your friend holds?
2. Has he worked as a doctor in the UK or any other EEA country?
3. Since when has he been living in Germany?
4. Is he residing in Germany as a worker, self-employed person , or self sufficient person?

in reply:
1. he did a medical undergraduate course in Libya.
2. No he has not worked as a doctor as he was completing his studies.he lived in the uk whilst doing his PHD
3. he has been in Germany for over 4 months now.
4. he is working as self-employed person doing some jobs but not as a doctor. he supports himself whilst there.

If he is not studying / working in Germany as a doctor / medical professional, then I don't think the exemption applies to him (under the Medical Act).

Do note:

This is an extremely complex area and this guidance gives only general information. If you believe you benefit from an EC right, you are strongly advised to seek professional advice from a lawyer specialising in rights for nationals of European states and those with an enforceable Community right. The GMC cannot give you advice and it is your responsibility to demonstrate to the GMC the existence of such a right.
