What visa/job title categories don't require a degree certificate?

Hi,

Actually the below professions require degree and diploma certificates for registration with saudi Engineering council. Also doctors nurses and accountants and account technicians requires registration with similar authority. Profession like general labour, marketing specialist, programmer currently do not need to register with any such authority for iqama renewal or visa process I believe.

Your only real chance is to go for labor and similar professions as those won't require degree nor registration nor are likely to be reserved only for Saudis.

What about 'system analyst', 'network analyst' and 'data analyst'? Are these profession requires degree/certification registered in Saudi council?

Look, things keep changing.  Your best bet is to ask your sponsor.

Have a look

Hi…my profession is system analyst too and don’t have a degree so wanted to ask you if you have any idea or when is your iqama renewal due and if you figured out something ?

Hi my company issued me Labor visa for bringing me here, now I am unable to sponsor my family for their residence visa.

After speaking with GRO / HR of the company, he said no problem i will change the Iqama to a new Profession, that is Procurement Person, I am actually procurement / import manager here.

The problem is I have a UK degree, but it has not been attested yet . But i have started the application already to get it verified from British council pakistan first, followed by Saudi embassy and culture.

I need to know first does my general profession if changed to Procurement person, does it needs a degree? Best if it does not need.

And do you guys know any profession which doesnt require degree but can issue family residence Visa. Will really appreciate your help.

*********

I think your HR will be the best judge of that.  As things keep changing plus they may not have those professions available under their CR.  And as far as I know, most professions have ended up requiring degrees; especially for sponsoring family visas............even if the profession change doesn't require a degree, when you go to Jawazat for the visa, they will ask for it.

Hello everyone, I'm wanna ask if for a girl the sponsor is a father and in her iqama it says not permitted to work as her dad is the sponsor how can she be separated from her father and what to do if she didn't have a degree on what name of profession can she put in her iqama.

She has to find a job and get a work visa/iqama.

Hi All,

I am in a position where I have been offered a role in KSA. I do not have a degree, so would like to know what profession does not need one. I work in marketing and advertising, and the company is an advertising agency. I have a director-level role, I think for this role, I would be required to provide a degree? Since I don't have one and I am doing my work visa from the UK, what role/title can be put down that doesn't require a degree? The 2nd question would be about sponsoring a family, in my contract and my package, includes family, but I assume I'd have to sponsor them. if I have a role with a lower title would that mean I'm unable to sponsor my family?

Thanks

Tell your sponsor to find a role that allows you to sponsor your family.  It is difficult to say which profession would need a degree and which wouldn't...........things change every day here and the list of professions is in the thousands.

@xTang Is there a way to find a list that the governing bodies work off? To confirm it is true that your role/title is linked to sponsoring family.

Job professions list is on mohre website, in Arabic. Some sites will provide a translated one.  But nowhere, will you find an official list in English that defines whether this profession allows for family visa or not.... Or even if it requires a degree.  As I said the rules change quickly.

As an example, if your profession is labour, you can't sponsor family even for visit visas. And there are a lot of professions like that. Mostly blue collar but still. On top, many employers will not give you a family contract even if your profession allows it

Family can do a visit visa as we have British passports. My company is offering a family contract and has included them in my package. I assume that when it comes to me doing family visas, it will be off my Iqama so it's about finding the right role that allows family sponsorship.

Yes.

Hi there, if you have any information on how onw can avail the SCE membership having No degree or diploma

Current profession on iqama is مراقب عام  (general observer). which not needed SCE membership for iqama renewal.

I got offer from another company they are asking for SCE membership, I don't have any documents.

is there any way to enroll in SCE without having diploma. I just need SCE membership number 

@saddamsiddiqui92

Ask your HR/Company to provide you a experieced letter based on your iqma profession (General Observer) and this experience certificate must be attested by Chamber of Commerce. So, after COC attestation you can submit this certifcated in SCE for membership. Inshallah 100% you will get the permanent membership.

if you need further information drop me a message on this email: ***

@shoaibahmed60 to sponsor your family job title will not be a hinderance it is the minimum salary of 3500 SR and yes you will require a degree certificate for that even though your profession does not require one.   

@shoaibahmed60 did you manage to get a visa without a degree? I am in a similar situation and the one postgrad I have is online..

@saddamsiddiqui92 did you manage to find a way around this?

Do I need attested degree to transfer the iqama. My current iqama position is port monitor and I'm willing transfer my sponsorship soon.

Please advise.

Thank you.

Dear sir,

    Want to know that CONSTRUCTION SITE SUPERVISOR  also require diploma / degree attestation from Saudi embassy your feed back will be highly.

hi brother,

Current profession on iqama Electronic Devices Maint Tech. we need any diploma?

I know someone who has been completed 2 years intermediate course, which is I think equal of 2 years Diploma. What could be a suitable profession for him here in Saudi Arabia for a construction Establishment without any restrictions or nationalization or any harrasement?

I see everyone coming here and asking these questions repeatedly.

So to make it clear and keeping it general:

1) If you want to be able to sponsor your family without any issues, you need a profession which requires a degree

2) Without a degree, in most cases, you will only have access to lower professions which won't allow you to sponsor your family and in some cases, you will HAVE to do the new skill based testing

@fasibutt23 i have not seen a site /construction manager without an engineering degree. Candidates usually have a civil or mep engineering background.

@XTang do you know where one can find the list of jobs that don't require degrees and don't require memberships with SCE?
