I'm intending to come to Saudi Arabia in a new visa. The visa profession and my degree certificate mismatching. Is there any problem for stamping and wakala? Please advise on this.

Hello abdullaabuthahyr,

Welcome to Expat.com

From where are you travelling to Saudi Arabia?

Is there a way you can check with the embassy?

Let's hope someone can provide you with all the needed information here.

All the best,

Cheryl

Depends on the Embassy where you are doing the stamping from. Some will not stamp it and some will. The problem will come later once you are here and are working.............on labor inspections.

@abdullaabuthahyr They will reject but your company will ask you to come on lower category visa then register degree in SEC and then change profession but be careful, once you are in Saudi you will be beggar in front of them so Ask your company to release a letter/visa with designation matching to degree
