Attestation from ministry of foreign affairs

Hi,

I am not sure but I don't think you need the offer letter to be attested from MOFA for your degree, then again I also don't know what requirement are there for India.

Why don't you try this for change. Ask some relative to check with Saudi Embassy in India and list down their requirement for attestation in India.

In my case (in Pakistan) only chamber of commerce attested offer letter was required, then when i got my degree, it was sent to MOFA for transfer requirement.

Also ask any of your friends who have gone through a similar process.

Do you have any Saudi friends to advocate for you?  The ministry will undoubtedly be more polite and helpful to a national.

Thanx for the replies

I asked people there in india from saudi embassy but they said they need the offer letter compulsory attested by chamber of commerce and MOFA..

@Alliecat
Yeah i hav a lot of saudi frendz.. even they tried but the Mofa ppl are tellin they wont attest the offer letter becoz im on  student visa n im not allowed to wrk. they evn tried to explain the ppl at mofa that for anythin to do we need the attestation of certificates and for that we need attestation of offer letter .. bt they r not giving solution or extending n e help..

i dnt know wat to do knw....

hey prince... who said u need an offer letter for the saudi attestation on ur degree??? its crap! u dont need it... for the internship, i dont know... will find out. My friend is still on a dependent visa and yet working as a dentist. he has passed his saudi counsil exam!

Hi Prince,

I think someone is informing you wrong here, because MOFA will never attest your offer letter unless its for transfer.

Why don't you try sending all your documents with only the Chamber attested offer letter to see what happens in the Embassy. some of my friends got their degrees attestd by only sending a scanned copy of offer letter (accepted if its a big recognized or governmental organization)

Mine was attested from a offer letter that a friend send me (It was from his own small establishment paper and i was not joining him actually)

So the thing is that its not a big deal, but you need to send some of your close friend or cousin or someone who can follow up on ur case.

You can send the documents through registerd saudi mail, will cost u SR. 10 and the documents will arrive in 10-12 days. Saudi express mail will charge you SR. 150 and will take 4-5 days.  FEDEX, DHL, ARAMEX will charge you 300 - 400 riyals and will take 3-4 days.

Hey dude i am also facing the same problem i am on my fathers iqama but i got offer letter from a company now i have to attest my engineering degree from saudi embassy in india , for this i made Chamber of commerce on my offer letter but foreing affairs guys are not accepting my offer letter since my kafeel is different if you get any solution kidly lemme know plese.

Thanks

There are a ton of rules and a length of red tape that cant be measured.

Salam,

Medicine related professions in the Kingdom require proper visa. U can never enter any employment related offices with a student visa.

First visit agents near Kharjia and discuss with them the possibilities of converting student visa to a proper dentistry related visa.

Pls tak care not to get in to any of the transferable visas like Mason, Electrician, Plumber or driver. Medicine industry will never accept you in this profession.

Salaams...

In my experience offer letter is only given once you apply for the job and you are selected for it. I believe that's how you get an offer...

Sadly, the MOFA are the worst people to deal with. I had my Canadian degree attested by the Canadian Foreign affairs office, the Saudi Embassy in Ottawa and the Canadian Embassy in Riyadh. The MOFA in Jeddah AND Riyadh gave me trouble and kept asking for a Saudi Culutral Office stamp. It was ridiculous because the cultural office in Ottawa was very clear in stating that they do not attest degrees!

After 2 months of running around, I found wasta at the MOFA via my employer's GRO and the same MOFA dude who rejected me 5 times ended up attesting my degree.

Worst.Experience.Ever.

I have already done my all documents, but I don't have any kafeel for work there ...

MOFA doesn't attest offer letters. What you need to do is :

1- Get your degree attested from the Ministry of Higher Education in India.
2-  Then Get your degree attested from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in India.
3- Have your offer letter attested from the Chamber of commerce
4- Send all your documents to the Saudi Embassy or Council in India (Cultural Mission )

That's the process and nothing else is required.

@simplyado:
Hey, are you able to help me out with that Wasta as I am facing a similar problem for attestation. Please let me know. Highly appreciate it. Thanks.
