I am supposed to go to KSA to teach English. I sent my documents to the travel agency for the visa, but they told me that my degree could not be authenticated. I think this is the same thing you guys are talking about when you say "attestation". Why would this Saudi place (I don't remember what it was called exactly) refuse it? Could it be because my degree is from a Christian university? And what are my options for getting passed this obstacle now? Thank you.

Your degree has to be authenticated by the Saudi Embassy. It has nothing to do with religion, but could be due to the university accreditation or something like that. Ask the travel agent why and then see.

I am from Karachi pakistan, i have been offered a job from KSA as a Head of Finance, due to some reasons i could not endorsed my visa on my passport. Visa expired on 16 June 2013, the employer again applied for my visa in Saudi Embassy after expiry. Now 2 and half months have passed whenever i called the employer they reply that we are just waiting for your visa. we will inform you as soon as we receive it.

I want to ask why visa is getting late ? or is it due to November deadline given to illegal immigrants ? or some other reason kindly can anyone let me know.

Thanks in Advance.

If you are not a mechanical engineer by education and your visa profession is mechanical engineer, then in order to process the visa you at least need to show the embassy a diploma related and this certificate should be attested from Saudi embassy.

All companies that have requested visas recently are facing the same delay , the govt seems, want to correct the illegal status of all the people and companies before issuing new visas.

Your process is taking time for the certificate attestation that has to be done in India and done by an agent. Try to speed up that process , since the process at the embassy does not take more than 2 weeks if all papers are in order.

Thanks HR Guru.

if you search this forum you will read a lot of thread as to documents required for certificate attestation.

And also for visa processing.

As for the expiry of your visa, I cant say unless I know the issue date. Usually visas once issued from MOL are valid for a year at least and once endorsed in passport valid for max of 3 months.

aneez1234

thanks.

   my wakala issue date is : 15/10/1434

i.e.., 22/08/2013

Dear All,

Plz Advice me, i have selected for a Government Organization to work as a Civil Engineers around 4 months before, after a long delay of 2 months they issued Attested Offer Letter and Visa, then i completed Certificate Attestation and Visa Medical, but my Employer put me on Hold to Stamp my Visa in Passport, he told me to wait, time was passing around 4.5 months completed still they are not calling me to work, on believe their words i resigned my job, at this situation what i have to do,
can i File a complaint to any Authorities, after selection for job and not calling to work, this is highly frustrating they even dont reply how long i needs to wait also

Plz advice me what i have to do.

farzabbas

yes you need degree cert for attestation

provisional cert required only internally

however u can clarify with ur univ saying your problem

hop they will help u

if need suggestions pls mail to ***

farzabbas

offer letter does not mean u are 100% selected

its one of the selection process, that's it

if they are not answering u means they already selected another guy or still problem in visa stamping as the Saudi gov no w having nitaqat system may be

so better check with ur agent what happened really
if nothing happens get back your passport/degree certificate as they may lose it which ill be again big head ache



don't be panic, do with good hope and clarify from your end,.

if need help call me on ***

you need to get your documents attested from Saudi Embassy and culture for this you need to have offer letter stamped with COC and MOFA.

Hello Friends,
I have an email from KSA in which the recruiter has given me job offer in email and asking for confirmation.i confirm that offer and he reply that in 2 weeks they will send me official job offer but it almost more that 5 weeks but they still asking me to wait.
Can anybody tell me how much time it will take and also about the process after i receive job offer?

Waiting for your guidance.

Thanks

farooq_mba08

I have also the same problem dear. I think offer letter require more than 2 months time.i have an offer through email and they told me in 2 weeks I will get official job offer but its almost 5 weeks but no offer letter received.i think process is lengthy

TheLegendLeads

2 weeks in paperwork in KSA are rarely 2 weeks in real. Things move here extremely slow.

However, if you don't hear back in 2 more weeks from now, forget & move on.

farooq_mba08

Same with me i receive email 2 days after my skype interview and i give confirmation for that and still waiting for offer letter etc.I have completed my documents verification process.Can anybody tell me about the time it takes and about process
