Dear Expats,

Can anyone help with this situation? I came to Riyadh on an engineer visa. For the Iqama process, I applied for SCE (Saudi Council of Engineers) membership, but my request was rejected because my graduation date doesn’t meet the 5-year requirement. I have my original degree attested.

I saw on the SCE website that there is an option to get a temporary SCE membership. So, I downloaded the form for the occupancy change, got it signed by my company, had it stamped by the chamber, and submitted it for a temporary SCE membership to process my Iqama. Once that is done, I can change my profession.

However, my submission was rejected again. I followed the instructions on the SCE website, but despite my efforts, it keeps getting rejected.

Can anyone please guide me on the solution to process my Iqama?

You can contact me at ***. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
