Work Visas also require an educational or professional qualification as supporting documentation for the visa category and this must now be authenticated and stamped by QVP (Professional Accreditation Programme) or Mosadaqa. We understand this process and are well positioned to provide advice and assistance. It is also a requirement that these educational certificates or professional qualification certificates must be stamped by the FCO. Please see additional charges shown below.

If your Job Position does not typically require a Degree then your application will be exempt from Mosadaqa and QVP. However the issue of the visa will be solely at the discretion of the Saudi Embassy and they may require additional information.

Additional charges (per document)
  • £85.00 for Educational/Professional certificates requiring the FCO Apostille to support the visa application.
