Working visas is KSA

Post new topic

Hello,

I am looking at obtaining work in KSA.

I have a Diploma in Finance which has been completed by an approved institution here in my home country of New Zealand. However I have competed this Diploma online and with the research I have done I have read in some places that KSA wont accept or attest Diplomas that have been completed online. Is this true?

Aside from this Diploma, all I have is my secondary school completion certificate (not done online).

Just wondering if I am able to obtain work with a distance education diploma?
If not am I able to work in KSA in "unskilled" work areas with just my secondary school certificate.

I am under the understanding that I must first secure work and then the visa process begins, but didn't want to begin looking for work if my Diploma wont be accepted.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Saudi government authorities, in general, don't recognize online diplomas or degrees. The same goes for employers who prefer on-campus education.

A very small segment of unskilled work areas is for ladies -- mainly menial jobs.
