Hi Everyone,

I would like to get information that is Maintenance mechanical assistant (Technician) iqama can be converted into any Computer/Software Engineer iqama. I possess the Computer Engineering degree and initially company is planning to send me on Technician visa. Is it possible to change the iqama profession ? If yes, what is the procedure and how much the tentatively charges ? Plus if someone tell me the logical differences in terms of benefits/setbacks of having technician visa as compared to engineer. that would be great.

Thanks

Before we respond to your question, you need to provide first information to the below QUESTIONS:

1- How many years of solid experience do you have as Computer Engineer.
2- How many years you completed your Computer Engineering course. Is it BEng or BSc?
3- Does your Certificate already authenticated and attested in your home country, yes or no?
