Dear All,
i need some serious help please, i arrive in KSA 5 months ago for the last two months i have been trying to bring my wife and kids to Saudi from the UK.
All my paperwork is in order apart one thing when i arrived in riyadh my original UK degree had not been attested as UK law states you can not stamp original documents as it goes down as tampering crime.
I have explained the situation to the ministry of interior they are still refusing and telling me to get it attested. They first told me i could get it attested from the british embassy and council here so i did just that !
I then went back to MOFA and re applied they then had the cheek to tell me no !!! u need to get it attested in the UK from Saudi consulate i told them again original degrees can not be attested so they said get them to email u a photocopy stamped version.
I contacted the saudi cultural bureau in London UK they are refusing to send me an electronic copy attested without seeing the originals.
The british embassy here is shocked their asking for this when they have attested it them selves.
Can some one tell me what do please its becoming a pain in the *** for me.
I dont understand the following issues:
1. They give me a visa to enter the country without having the original degree attested.
2. The degree has been attested here ? so why do i have to send it back o UK surely its not rocket science that anyone can stamp it 6,000 miles away so its better to have it stamped and transalated here ?
I am also willing to pay some money to any one that can send me a colored scanned image via email to me so i can just get some one to photoshop the stamp on ! cause i am not sending it back to the UK it will cost me a ton and it can take 2 months to attest.
Thanks
