Hi everyone,
I came through several posts asking about tips / info about the Saudi Council of Engineers, I thought I would share some info / tips with you that might help you throughout the process. Please note that you have to register to the Saudi Council of Engineers if your visa is an Engineer Visa.
The website for the Saudi Council of Engineers is http://eservices.saudieng.sa/en/Pages/welcome.aspx
You will find a button at the bottom of the page labeled "Register" , click that button and you are good to go!
Start providing the required info, make sure you use a valid mobile number and email address cause it will be the only mean of communication. Please note that they will NEVER EVER call you, they will only text you and send you emails. Each communication they send via both txt and email and in both Arabic and English so don't worry.
This part is easy I'm sure, then we get to the two main issues which usually confuses everyone.
First part is what level of engineer are you. There are 4 levels of engineers to choose from:
Engineer
Participating Engineer
Professional Engineer
Consultant
I would suggest you always choose "Engineer". the other levels require exams and those exams are available only at certain dates every year, this will delay your iqama process and frankly I don't know anyone who cares about getting benefits from the council other than getting your iqama processed ! The membership fee for "Engineer" is 1,200 SR. If you choose a higher level, you will pay more (for example, the fee for the Professional Engineer is 2,500 SR).
Second part is the Attachments required. They require the following attachments: (some additional attachments are required from certain nationalities)
1) Passport copy stamped by your Sponsor.
2) Graduation Certificate (should be stamped by the Saudi Embassy in your home country).
3) Authorization Letter (a template is available on the site, you should sign it and better stamp it by your company)
4) Introduction Letter from your company (stamped from the Chamber of Commerce)
5) A Photo with white background
In order to review your request, they will ask you to pay 500 SR through SADAD. They are non refundable and they are not deducted from your membership fees stated earlier. Your company usually pays for the whole process.
Some additional attachments can be required for certain nationalities such as score cards, this info will be available on the site. But at least you have to prepare the above items before beginning your registration.
Within 10 days, they will send you an email and a text with the status of your request. It wasn't hard for me to be honest.
Well, thats all the tips I can think of for now ! In case you require further assistance, please don't hesitate to message me and I will do my best to help you out.
Thank you all for reading and hope this will help you.
Welcome and Good luck in Saudi Arabia !

Hello Paresh can u help
today I received the message and Email as “Please access your profile to complete the inefficiencies” from SCE and when I access the profile there is one new options for uploading the documents, but not mention what document to upload or what is the exactly they need.
@MohSwellam Hello, when I registered my profile, I entered wrong Arabic name (caused due to google translation). Such as Rahul Gupta became Rahul is not available Gupta. Problem is the website doesn't allow me change this basic profile information. I can't create a new new profile because my phone umber is locked with previous one. I can't delete the profile.
What's your suggestion? I have not paid but thinking to pay and submit as it's.
