Dear Expats,

I am seeking advise regarding the attestation of my degree from my home country and Saudi Embassy .

I was working as a teacher since past 12 years in the kingdome .
But due to sudden change of rules in Saudi Arabia I no longer can stay under the sponsership of my husband.
The institution in which I am presently working is giving me a job offer letter but not a Iqama .
They want my degree attested from Saudi Embassy .
This requires a Mofa stamping.
The Mofa people are refusing to stamp the offer letter and are asking me to change my sponser .

The school says it wants us to stay under the sponsership of our spouse.
How can I get a Mofa stamping in these circumstances.

Can anyone advise

There are three things that can be used to attest the certificate:

1. Offer letter
2. Letter from the company / school
3. Employment contract with visa title, number, issue date

All of the above should be attested from Chamber and then from MOFA. If you have any of the two from the above you can get this done.

Contract with visa title as per iqama, visa issue number and date and expiry date should be mentioned in the contract and then attested from MOFA. MOFA will not attest if these are not there. You can then use this to get the certificate attested.
