Hello Everyone.

I hope everyone is safe and doing great.

Im in Riyadh working on a working visit visa and now i have been offered a permanent job. Im ACCA member and have BSc OBU as well.

My Questions is, how can i attest my ACCA or BSc OBU from Saudi Culture or Saudi Embassy?
I have consulted with a service provider they told me that Saudi Embassy or Culture is not attesting ACCA certificates anymore since last 5 6 months.

if anyone has gone through the same, please help me and guide me on how can i get my attestations done for the visa? or is there any other way to address the situation?

Thanks in Advance.

You are little late, Embassy used to attest ACCA certificates few months ago directly, now they need Saudi Cultural attestation, and Saudi Cultural is not attesting membership and distance degrees. You can only wait until further update.

Saudi culture doesn't attest ACCA. Also, for the BSc, they will only attest the UK degree IF you were a full time student in the UK - they ask for a copy of the student visa. However, as far as I know (I checked in Dec last year), Saudi Embassy does attest ACCA.

Hi Everyone,

Saudi Culture and Saudi Embassy will attest only ACCA membership or Fellow Membership certificates.

But In Saudi Arabia you can only use these certificates for Family permanent Visa only not acceptable for profession change.

Hi All

I will be going through this process shortly so I will update you all. There seems to be some confusion on this topic.

I have been told that there is no issue from Saudi Embassy if you have ACCA “membership” certificate. Seems like they only create an issue if someone is just affiliate.

But I’ll confirm and keep everyone posted on this

@06toolingfirings - Hi any update? And what about Bsc OBU degree attestation. Please note i did take all my ACCA classes and for the final degree dissertation i did have a mentor so how does that become an online study / distance learning.

Has anyone successfully attested their degree?

Lot of confusion in all scenarios

I have attested my ACCA membership, but ACCA advanced diploma is not acceptable anymore by Saudi culture.

for OBU BSC still looking for valid answers.

Moreover, Our company HRs are unable to change Iqama profession on basis of ACCA attested membership as this is not acceptable by Saudi Labor office to change iqama profession.

@zubairakbar How did you get ACCA attested by Saudi Embassy. I am in a similar boat though I am in UK and have been told by the agent that culture won't attest ACCA. I need it attested for my family visa.
