ahmed kindly clear me that as my degree is distant learning and saudi culture is not attesting distant learning degrees
so i want to know that degree will be the issue or not in profession change?

Ahmedhasan5454

Brother i did not attest my degree from anywhere only attest from HEC and my Mandoob did not took any document from me and changed my profession..  but now i hear that they are asking document for profession change but not sure about it.
2nd option you need to pay some extra money for profession change.. but change through your company mandob don't trust any 3rd person and never pay any amount.
they will took the money and never come back.

As far as I know, "Accountant" professions are reserved for Saudi citizens only. In terms of Saudization, an expat who posses professions reserved for Saudi citizens would not be eligible for iqama renewal. I'd recommend, check again with your GRO/HR in this regard.

If I renewed the passport change the profession in the passport, shall I change it in Iqama as well? Is it mandatory to keep profession in both Iqama and passport identical?

Imran_Aslam83

I didnt really understand your question. What profession is on passport? It's only on iqama, if you change it or your company, a new iqama will be printed and print request will be sent by the company on online system.

Imran_Aslam83

You have to check via your abser account what's your wife's visa status. If there is fine or ban you to get it cleared before asking for new visa.

First profession on Iqama must be identical to the profession on passport. I'm asking if I changed on passport, shall I modify on iqama as well?

In my SCE profile, My Jawazat and Yaqeen is RED.
I have already valid membership.

How to update JAWAZAT?

yamin102

Hi dear

Just get attested to your degrees from Saudia & back home like MOFA, Cousolate, Foreign Office, University, etc.

Go to SCE, pay the fee and you are done.

More you can read here: SCE Registration Process

marb250

I have already done all these prerequisites.

I have a VALID SCE MEMBERSHIP.
I have paid all the bills.
I have already uploaded all my related documents.

But my JAWAZAT and YAQEEN has a RED Cross.

I am trying to contact SCE via phone but they are not attending my calls.
And are not responding to my calls.

How to update JAWAZAT and YAQEEN?
