Profession change is not going to be opened its a permanent Ban.my company GRO told me.only option left with us is exit and coming back with new visa.if the company with whom your husband is working have new visas then its good so avail new visa.I am also planning to go for new visa as my company is giving me new visa INSHALLAH Khair.

abdullah kunhi

From labour to Electronics technician.

Yes there is option for changing profession, My GRO/HR did in front of me. First he requested online by selecting required profession and then generated Sadad for payment and submitted to Finance dept to process the payment. Once payment is done profession will change accordingly

Thanks

brothers ,

Abzy931

My profession is labor now want to change to any technician or admin assistant or data entry clerk. Woulf prefer computer technician. Which is easier to change to which doesn’t require degree attestation. I have degree but it isnt attested and attestation will take time. Also can anyone confirm if someone has changed from labour to any other profession. Does it get changed immediately ? I have already deposited the 1000 fees in my account.

Cpmkd

If our profession change -- we get new iqama or not

Sir do you guys know if labour to Engineer is now valid?

GuestPoster0010

It is open, you guys can change your profession on iqama, if you want change from labor to engineer, you need to provide the degree.

my company just changed my profession from labor to telecom technician last week.

are there any big advantages of having engineer over telecom technician as profession?

Nafam1962

Dear all,

My office wants me to change my profession on Iqama to suit my job description as Auditor. However, when we attempted online, they rejected and said I need to visit the ministry of labor with my certificate attested by the MOFA and 'Saudi embassy'.

My certificates are currently attested by the MOFA and the embassy of my country in Saudi Arabia. Do I need to get attestation from the Saudi embassy in my country as well? Or are these attestations enough to visit the labor office for profession change.

Thanks for your time and appreciate the helpful responses.

Hasan2010

Attestation must be from Mofa,saudi embassy and saudi culture after that you have to get your certificate translated from authorized agents and attest your certificate from MOFA saudia.
