I was facing same issue which ends in a very easy process by visiting SOCPA officer in Riyadh,  without any appointment, I reached to them and take a ticket and waited until my turn, I reached to the counter and SOCPA gentleman (Very decent Saudi chap) he listens all my concern and mentioned your degree is Bachelor in Commence not in accounting, but I explained him that in India we don’t call BA in Accounting, we call B. Com and shown him all my transcript certificates. After seeing all the certificates which was attested by Saudi Cultural, he called to his technical team and within half an hour my membership was showing valid and I was able to renew it.

Hello All,

This forum i used to get help and information,so

Regarding Topic dicussed here i want to share my experience,

I have MBA finace, my profession was General Accountant and from 4 years i was registered in SOCPA as temporary member and got renew it every year,

My iqama was getting expire on mid of Aug22 and start of month my HR asked me to renew SOCPA SO that she can renew my iqama.

I checked that time that i could not be able to renew SOCPA as MBA is not acceptabke for it.

I checked many forum also expat.com and make my decision ti change the Profession from Accountant to to Financial analysis that is not required SOCPA MEMBERSHIP.

My HR tried alot to change my profession by she could not thru absher. The SOCPA IS linked to MRHSD and my memebership was cancelled.

Then i request my HR to do it manually and apply in MOL office and it took almost 2 month and they changed my profession and today i get renewed my Iqama.

For Manually profession change application, they asked my degree ,experience letters as finance profession then they send request to Riyadh and assign me Financial analyst profession that was matching to my degree and experience.


This long detailed my writing may help someone, and thank you all who wrote here to help other as i got help from your words.

Dear All,

My SOCPA membership was temporary and I had uploaded my Bcom degree along with 3 year marksheet.

My Bcom degree is attested and validated by the Saudi Consulate in Mumbai and stamped.

SOCPA has tried to verify the marksheets online from Mumbai university but as my year of passing was 1991 they require me to visit the University in person to validate.

My renewal is in September 2023 and am not sure how to go about to satisfy the request of SOCPA.

The requirements page mentions degree required and marksheet or transcript optional.


I am sure there might be other residents who have the very same degree where the accounting hours were assessed. The same logic should be applied here.


Not sure if I would want to stay in a country where the process is a nuisance and does not add any value.

Hello


I have also a invalid Account my issue is that i have 1 Final Transcript of b.com that contain both years subject

1st i visited socpa riyadh and no one help me they said send your concern by email.

After one week i again go get my ticket and this time i my turn goes to another saudi man.

He checked my b.com transcript and ask the same questions where is part one i explained him and shows my university website where they mentioned 2 years program and subject.

Then he ask ok now its fine now you have 4 accounting subject and you must have 5 to complete 15 credit hours.

Then he ask me you have master degree i said yes MBA He said there you studied any accounting course i said yes he checked and he told me to scan both b.com and mba transcript and upload again and come back i did same time and went back to him.

He called his support team and he tell them details and ask them to activate my account.

He told to sit and open online portal and refresh you account after 5.mints my account get active and now its under process of degree verification.

This last 10 days what i experience the support guy at socpa this man is like a angle for me he solved my issue in 10 mints.

He said after degree verification complete you will get permanent membership.
