Change of profession from Technician to Engineer in Saudi Arab

Yes, it's possible but you have to furnish your degree attested from Saudi Chamber of commerce. Bare in mind that change your profession when you have the relevant job also otherwise it will go in an illegal act.

Yes Brother you can change your profession.but it depends on your company either they have engineer category available or not.you have to attest your degree from Saudi culture & Saudi embassy in Pakistan,in Saudi you have to register first in Saudi Engineering Council than you can change your profession.

Sister the requirements for changing profession to engineer is,1. he have to attest his degree from Saudi Culture and Saudi Embassy in Home Country 2. He have to register in Saudi Engineering Council in Saudi Arabia 3. after registration get a letter from Saudi Engineering Council. 4. attested degree + Saudi Engineering Council letter+Application for change of profession and submit the case in Labor office to change the profession.

For Degree attestation you will be required three letters from your Company/Kafeel,

1. Letter for Saudi Culture in Pakistan
2. Letter for Saudi Embassy in Pakistan.
3. Contract Letter

All above letters should be attested by Chamber of commerce and MOFA in Saudi.

Dears,

I was in saudi arabia since last 18 years; and initially was on engineer with family residing in saudi arabia. and also registered with Saudi Engineering council with validity up to 2019.

Just before a month, I left and come back in saudi arabia on new Visa (Mechanical technician); I've reupdated my SEC with new iqama and i've submitted SEC letter to my company to change iqama with engineer profession.

After getting my new Iqama; shall I apply family visa online through MOI website OR i've to visit Istiqdam? I'm not having cultural attestion my degree, is it now needed? What's attestation required for birth certificate for child?

Many Thanks.

Where you have given your degree certificate for attestation (which agency)?

What?
How you get that degree while working?
If it is some online degree then it is useless for SCE registration.
You will not get the registration.
And if it is a proper degree then you need 5 years experience after the completion of your degree.
So, do not try to change your profession according to that degree.

And what is your company?
If it is some hospital then it will be very easy to change the profession.
Otherwise, it will be difficult.

It’s a clinic not hospital

Dear I was registered as safety officer in Saudi engineering council temporary  now its expired and I change my profession to labor and renew iqama  now I want to change it to Electrical engineering technician I have attested diploma . As its Possible

Yes it is possible.
Just follow engineering council guidelines to register and then load your new electrical diploma. They will Automatically switch you to your new profession. To change Iqama profession, your company HR has to take actions and if they are agreed, not more than 3 days, it will take.
