First you will have to get it attested your Engineering degree certificate from NORKA office from where you completed your education, NORKA office is available in each state. I do not know from which state are you.
Once your degree certificate is attested scan your certificate and take a photo copy of both sides for your safety. Because the attestation will be done only at the backside of certificate. You submit this certificate, VISA slip and medical examination report to a qualified travel agent ( who has approval from Saudi Consulate - In India to my knowledge there are only four or five approved agents ) and get a receipt for your all documents submitted. Normally it should be done within 2 weeks. because there are two / three days in week submission and at the same time there are 2/3 days delivery. Once a document is submitted the delivery will be within 2/3 days. thanks
Thanks
I am abhishek from Mumbai,I am selected for one company base in al khoober Saudi Arabia as an electrical engineer.one placement service which is in Mumbai conduct my interview with said Saudi company.Initially they told me your visa category will be an engineer,but after two month,Now they inform me that your degree certificate attestation required more time around 2-3 months hence WAKALA copy and your medical will expire,better you go on technician VISA ,technician visa is available and will processed fast.I already submitted positive medical fitness report and my HRD attested engineer degree certificate along with my original passport.
I want to know degree attestation is compulsory for stamping engineer visa on passport?
Do WAKALA copy really expire after certain time?
Do degree attestation from Saudi embassy require 2-3 months?
kindly consider and need your immediate replay on this i already left my job here in India.
and can it will be safe to migrate on technician VISA

Thanks & regards,

the processing of VISA stamping should be done within 30 days provided the company has a VISA in their hand. First you will have to your degree certificate from the NORKA office from which you had completed your education. On getting attestation you will give to your agent for endorsement by Saudi Consulate and a medical check up report approved by the Saudi Consulate in India. that you can get from agent. Once this document is submitted and VISA is available then they can get it endorsed immediately. The problem will appear only because of the category of VISA available with the employer / agent and your job offer. If you do not have the certificate for the VISA category available with the agent then they manipulate or get some duplicate document to submit to Saudi Consulate for stamping the VISA. Regarding your children admission in the school can be completed on their arrival. You can not bring your family along with you and only after your arrival you will process the VISA for your family and can be joined along with you. It will take at least 4 - 5 months after your arrival. If your children were under CBSE it is easy to get them admission. There will be a small entrance test or something to get the admission. If you are seeking an admission for X CBSE, to my knowledge and advise better NOT to bring that child for schooling here as they will have to go back for higher studies in India. They can't be exposure to any thing here and the education is only bookworm in Saudi Arabia. For higher studies he has to go back in India for a better education. What you can do is apply for the VISA and after coming here sent him back at same school for continuous education and keep the VISA live so long as you are in KSA. Thanks
How much time university take to give reply to embassy? Does it help if one visit university?
Any help will be highly appreciated,
Kindly reply
Any help will be highly appreciated.
I have job offer from SABIC.
I am an instrument engineer ,interviewed for the position of instrument engineer and selected for the same position that is INSTRUMENT Engineer.
But when original offer letter received with signature of Saudi chamber of commerce, job title was INSPECTION engineer instead of instrument engineer.
I told the consultant to change my job title from inspection to instrument engineer from SABIC.
They insisted that it won't affect my job or job role as instrument engineer in SABIC.I will be working as instrument engineer only in SABIC.
My fear is if SABIC treating me mistakenly as INSPECTION engineer then.
I am not able to trust the consultant and don't have any contact with SABIC.
I am from India.
Please help
