Question
1
Hello, I want to firstly
applaud your efforts in helping the fellow expatriate community here understand
the very confusing rules!
Secondly, I would like
your opinion on a problem I am facing here. I have my Iqama and visa profession
in order and would like to apply for my wife's permanent family visa but the
only setback I have is my degree is not getting attested from Saudi Culture as
it comes under Distance Education category. My salary is 4k and I work as an
auditor, I am also pursuing ACCA. Government Relations Office is not of much
help as he only requires attested degrees from Saudi Culture and Saudi Embassy.
I wanted to ask, is there any other way for me to apply for permanent visa?
Answer
from Steve
If you are ACCA qualified,
you will have to send your degrees to UK embassy and Saudi Culture Office in UK
for attestation. If you do not have someone in UK who can do it on your behalf,
you may have to contact some agent. One of my friends took the help of this
agent. They did the attestation for his degrees in UK. I do not guarantee this
website but they have done the process for my friend. Their URL is www.gulfvisa.com. ACCA is not a Pakistani
degree so they cannot attest it. If you have any other Indian degree, you can
send it to Pakistan for attestation. I have already explained the procedure of
attestation of degrees in this article “How
to attest Degrees from Saudi Arabia”
Question
1 (2)
ACCA isn't completed yet.
Still have a few papers to write, so there is still time to get that degree. I
am from India, got my BBA certificates HRD( human resource development) and MEA
( ministry of external affairs) attested, sent for Saudi culture attestation
but they returned unattested as my degree falls under distance mode which they
don't seem to be accepting nowadays.. So I suppose this is a dead block then,
despite of all visa and Iqama status in accordance I can't apply for a
permanent visa because of my degree. No other way is it? As I heard that people
having salaries above 4k can apply for permanent visa for family if they fall
into the proper job category.
Answer
from Steve
May be this is the case
with distant learning degrees. But if you have passed first 9 papers of ACCA, you
can apply for degree of BSC Hons in Applied Accounting from Oxford Brooks
University. After that, this degree can be attested from UK Embassy and Culture
Office. You just need to submit a thesis to them. I can help you in writing a
thesis since I am a professional writer.
Question
2
I am from Pakistan is
there any requirements to attest ACCA certificate in order to apply/get
visa. My uncle have arranged accountant
visa for me so I need to attest ACCA certificate from Saudi embassy in Pakistan
or Saudi embassy in London? If I don't have attestation from Saudi embassy can
I get accountant visa?? And one more thing if employer is willing to give me an
accountant open visa then what role Saudi embassy would play in this
scenario???
Answer
by Steve
Attesting ACCA degree is a
tiring and long activity since you need to attest it from Saudi Embassy in UK.
If you have B.Com degree, you can attest it to get your visa stamped.
Question
2 (2)
If I don't have bachelor
degree so the ACCA certificate only will be attested by Saudi embassy in
London If I don't get attestation from
Saudi embassy in London then I would not get an accountant visa?
Answer
by Steve
In that case, the only
legal way is to get it attested from Saudi Embassy in UK. But there are some
other ways available about which your agent can guide you well.
Question

Thanks in UK any one can
do on my behalf? Only ACCA certificate is needed or anything else is needed??

services of any agent in London???
