Is A Degree Attestation is not mandatory for work in Saudi ?

It all depends from company to company. Before the attestation was validated by MOL but now since it's done online it's getting validated by HR.

I'm surprised to find that a lot of companies are now not checking it.

For engineers and nurses, it is required!

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

That's for sure, Engineers and nurses no doubt as long as the profession on iqama says so.

That's the most important point. Depends on what king of visa you are coming on. Of course, the degree won't be needed if you are going on... say a labor profession (worst case scenario).

By the way, it's absolutely important to know what profession on visa your employer is processing for you.

I have membership ID .but my yaqeen is not verified .it is showing Red Cross mark and also degree is not attested and my iqama is going to be expire on January .please advice me

Hello Krus,

I manage a corporate immigration consultancy myself so here is my advice / questions :

1- check the profession they are giving you on your visa. This should be stated on visa documents / contract;

2- if the profession is of technical nature or managerial, you will definitely need to have an attested degree / diploma.

3- confirm which country are you going to apply from ?

I think you are mixing up topics. I believe you are in KSA on Iqama and you have a SCE membership application as “pending”. If this is a renewal case and this is your first application to SCE this year then you should be ok with the renewal.

If your SCE membership  has been pending since last Iqama renewal then this will be a problem.
