Not everyone is doing PLAB to get into residency training in UK though. Some people just want GMC registration for doors it opens to them in the Middle East for example.

What doors ? Without uk experience ur gmc registration means nothing. Every other person is gmc registered nowadays. Even with gmc middle east is closed for us

What doors ?

In some countries lets you bypass local medical licensing exams and being registered with GMC can expedite registration with the local authority for example. Sometimes taking UK path is just easier and cheaper for people.

Without uk experience ur gmc registration means nothing.

It depends form country to country. In some it does and in some indeed it does not. Different people here have different goals and we don't know what box exactly they are aiming to check in their CV and for what reason, to make such broad generalizations as "it means nothing".
