Hi,
Saudi Council rejected my registration because the degree I am holding is online, not regular. I tried to change my Iqama profession but that also rejected by MOL. Is there any solution remaining?

Bsc Computer science is my degree but it's distance. I didn't register in socpa. Is it mandatory to register in SOCPA before changing profession?

Yes distance is not accepted,
no socpa is for commerce background.
Wait for July , clear rules will emerge on profession.
I heard company will define the actual  profession in Qiwa and book the test

That will not allow to get registered without a diploma or degree.
