professions can bring family.

bharoonrashid

Profession other than AAmil (Labor) can get family visa easily , but one should have degree certificate (fully attested) at the time of getting yellow slip (permanent visa no ).

MOFA, they check and verify your original documents like degree certificate (attested), company salary certificate, marriage certificate (attested ), iqama original, passport copy etc.

Dear All,

Greetings!

I am an Indian and having Aamil profession written on my Iqama and would like to change the profession except Aamil by which i can easily get the Permanent Family visa.

Basically I have three year Polytechnic Diploma in Electronics & Communication engineering and having more than 14 years of experience in FMCG industry. Working here in Saudi Arabia as Production Manager.

Is it required to get attestation of my Diploma certificate through HRD & MEA?? or any other possibilities to change the profession in which this documentation attestation is not required.

Your kind responses against this querry will be highly appreciated.

Regards,
Manoj

bharoonrashid

You can easily change your profession to some other like technician, supervisor,operation analyst,program producer,product director etc except engineer or doctor or some special prof, which needs same qualification/degree.

But at the time of applying visa for family, they will be asking for your degree with attestation.

If his degree is attested from Saudi Embassy in the home country then go for Computer programmer otherwise go for computer technician both can bring the family. If the company's HR is not cooperating then search agents, they will do this.

Guestposter51032

Yes degree is attested both from Saudi culture and embassy

wraza

Then there should be no any problem if HR is not cooperating then search agents.

Guestposter51032

Yes they are still saying it cannot change. Thank you for your help

hi

well , if he tries on website but it doesn't work , then he might as well go to labor office . It might be a sponsor controlled process , simply he can go and inquire . simply the error thing happens a lot.

hope it all tuns well

freeman37

Hasan2010

Technicians are eligible for family visa you can change.

Sana nayeem

Company should give us family visa or else we can apply directly online?

HASSAN ONLINE 123

Hassan After getting Changed into technician how can we apply online for family permanent visa ?

HASSAN ONLINE 123

friends ALHAMDULILAH I got message from JAWAZAT that my profession is changed Successfully .

Hasan2010

We can apply through istiqdam for permanent visa.bcz I read somewhere that those whose profession has been changed they can't apply online for permanent visa if their profession on visa will remain same.like I have changed my profession to technician and its changed on my iqama but on my visa its same Amil.you can try online may be it works for you if its not going to work then they will tell you to proceed through istiqdam.
