What is Professional Accreditation for Saudi Work Visas?

It aims to verify the authenticity of academic qualifications and practical experience of applicants seeking employment in the Kingdom, and to ensure their compatibility with the profession stated on the visa before completing consular attestation procedures.

  • Prevent forgery of qualifications and certificates.
  • Ensure alignment between academic qualifications, work experience, and job title.
