Hi, I am working as a teacher in KSA. As per new rule, we are under the process of getting work permit to teachers (females.)
I have finished my schooling here in Dammam, but done my degree BBA by correspondence from india.
When enquired , I was told by an agent that saudi embassy at india doesn't attest correspondence degree certificate.
But I need attested degree documents to continue working.

Any possibility is available? Though there is nothing mentioned in my certificate about correspondence or distance education.

Thanks

Don't tell the agent that it is a correspondence degree, and if the agent already knows, tell him not to tell the Saudi embassy.  Would that work?  Do you also have to have a degree/enrollment verification sent from your university to the embassy?  I guess then the trick won't work because they will be able to see from the degree verification that you did not attend any campus.

If degree can't be attested, you can't work.

ok. so no option at all ?

He just gave you the option.  Do what Trapezius suggested, cross your fingers and don't quit your job until you have that visa in your passport.

Good luck.
