Dear All,
I am a Pakistani and I am offered teaching job here in Oman. My potential employer said me to get my educational and experience certificates attested from Pakistan Ministry of foreign affairs for employment visa. When I go for attestation here in Pak, they attested my educational certificates but they said we did not attest private companies experience letters and they rejected my experience certificates attestation on this basis.
Now my question is for getting employment visa, is it mandatory that experience certificate need attestation by foreign office ad Oman embassy in respective country.
Please share your experience.
Regards
Experience letter attestation by foreign affairs

Hey m07118,
I think the Ministry wouldn't attest a private companies certificate with their seal. Ministry seals are valuable and they authenticate a document and unless it comes from a state / national body, I don't see them authenticating that.
Did you try getting your certificate authenticated from an association of industries or something, maybe your potential employer in Oman could take that for authenticity sake. You could explain to your employer on the situation and direct them to the Industry Association website for clarity.
Cheers,
Rammy
