Hi omer22,

Welcome to expat-blog!

I suggest you to read the Iqama visa in Saudi Arabia articles, this might surely help.

Thank you,

David.

You query is how will you attest your certificate when you are a student profession in iqama ?

And you also say that you have an offer from a company, and that embassy requires attested job contract. Cant the new company give you this and solve your dilemma ?

MOFA will not look at your iqama profession if the contract is already attested from COC. Attest from COC and then give to MOFA.
