Hello any update on iqama profession change please help us I wanted to bring my family on permanent visa but I can't because I have technician iqama and never tried before for changing since 7 yrs. And now I'm regret
I came to Saudi Arabia as a welder technician but after a year my company changed it into a professional status. The company has paid SR 1,000 for it. Changing of profession will depend on what is available in the government (labour office). If you are an accountant, you need your school records be attested in the Saudi embassy of your country before they will grant an iqama with a general accountant profession. For other profession, i think it will do the same as long as your documents are legit or else they will reject and put you in jail if they found out that you gave a fake school records.
I@nagasarathy..... steps below which is completely self service & online.
1. Go to SCE page for login in eservice. ( i need to search the link if you need this help. But it should be easy. ) Follow instructions for your registration. In this process you select your profession Engineer.
2. Now you will have login account .
3. You will find tabs for document submittal. Most important is your degree. Letter from sponsor. Samples are available on same website.
4. System will activate back & fourth communication with you which shall include fee payment etc.
5. There is help center phone number which you can call to follow up.
6. In step 1 you will find option such as engineer working as non engineer job .
Yes u can change it after u register yourself at Saudi engineering council
No,just renewed my iqama but still the same profession
You can process requirements of SCE to make it green for jawazat update. This will facilitate iqama renew. Keep same profession unroll change ban is removed
You have to go for submit documents , it includes copy of degree etc , most importantly letter from company. Then system will ask for money deposit. You are done.
Theoretically your profession will be updated in SCE as engineer which is basis for changing profession in iqama. Keep working on same profession untill profession change is allowed.
I am a technician working in labour Iqama, could I able to change now?
Thanks for positive update, I hope they don't delay further.
proffession not changing right now if someone say he can do it don't believe. or don't pay any money before

What if Profession service won't open?
What could be the alternate solution?
Hello Riaz,
Hope you are doing well. Well if the profession change doesn't open then you will have 2 options.
OPTION 1: Your company should accept you with the non engineering profession and renew your iqama every year with the same old profession(Example:Electrical Technician which doesn't require any certifications for renewal.)
OPTION 2:You need to make final exit and come back on an engineering Visa.
