SPLBEs are conducted in countries where there is a request from OFWs to hold a special board exam there. The POLOs will then conduct a pre-registration to determine the number of examinees expected to take the special board exams. Dates and venues for special licensure examinations are set by PRC in coordination with the Philippine Regulatory Boards (PRBs) and may also depend on the recommended venues of Philippine embassies, consulates and POLOs.

PRC Chairman Teresita Manzala said that for countries in the Middle East, the special board examinations shall be held during the observance of religious holidays, while for other countries, SPLBEs may be conducted as requested by Philippine Embassies/Consulates and as approved by PRC.
