@Cheryl

Hi yes the rules and regulations have been defined in KSA for professionals accordingly.

There is no work permit issuance if the real profession is not according to study back ground.

i-e (For engineers assigned Council SCE)

(For Accountants assigned SOCPA)

(Same as for Medical staff)

Regards.
