SCFHS Registration Fee Details.





Note:-  I am some what confused that either they separated B.Pharmacy and Pharm.D in the updated version of fee structure or not. Any how most of us submitted fee of SAR 1100.




  • The above fees are paid at the spot by ATM or Credit Card,  no cash accepted. (or)
  • Deposit to Bank Account of Saudi Commission for Health Specialties.
  • Bank account number is 20159007001306 for NCB, Better confirm Bank account number from office of Saudi Commission for Health Specialties.
  • I recommend you to present your case/file for registration and if all is OK, mean they made no objection, than go and submit the fee.

Total Fee of Accreditation + Registration (03 years) =  1100 + 360 = 1460 Saudi Riyals.
