You don't need attested certificates for profession change but you need then when applying for family visa.

Refrain from spreading false information. profession change certainly required attested certificate but it's not for all profession.  Professions such as Engineer, Doctor, Programmer (there are many) are some examples.


For family visa, Ministry won't ask you to submit attested certificate when you apply for the family visa but the applicant's profession should be valid to get family visa.

Brother I am talking about profession opened now a days doctor engineer erc professions are still not opened and for engineer profession one need SCE registration and for SCE registration we need attested certificates.I personally changed my profession to technician bcz engineer profession is not yet opened.no one asked me about my certificates.yes but my certificates and marriage certificate is registered and my company arranged my file for istiqdam for getting permanent visa I don't know whether they will check my certificate or not.I am not spreading false information I am sharing my personal experience.

I will get it tomorrow. In my case, HR will visit Jawazat along with GRO.

My HR told me that they applied for my iqama and they will get it by mail.HR of my company is not co-operative so I have to wait for iqama.

What does GRO mean?

GRO Means GUEST RELATIONS OFFICER, They are locals in every company here is saudi.

yes mostly! Hr side not cooperative cz my brother already sent to degree ( before 10 days ) with saudi attested but Hr Side Silent so dont understanding what they want?
why HR keep silence .?

GRO is the abbreviation of Government Relations Officer

AFAIK, A GRO does duties related to visa and iqama processing, office license renewals etc.
