Hello Everyone


I have recently moved to Riyadh for a finance position in the same company I work in back in my country.


the job Title I have in my Saudi contract is Accountant.


I have a Master degree from one of the top 10 Business Schools in France but it has no accounting mention on it but rather Management & Business education, the reason why SOCPA had refused it stating it is not an accounting one.


I had initially same issue back at home country,  I informed the company, they were looking to change the title name but in between, after presenting the proof that I was working in this position and that I am keeping the same in Riyadh it got accepted.



now my issue, is that I am unable to make Istiqdam for my family & for sure I may have issues renewing my iqama.

does any one of you had same issue & how did you solve it?

is it possible to change the title without going back home and restarting the process.


thank you
