New rules for iqama profession change
Thanks for your reply . That means , if i have 4 years engineering degree in any field that satisfy SEC requirement to register me there . As far as Iqama , if it is showing Network consultant with an experience and certification relevant to those , should be good enough ?, beside i have Mechanical engineering.

For SEC certification you can have your Mechanical degree used, but for the iqama for a profession of network consultant - preferable education back ground is either in IT or in telecom. You may face a mismatch with the title and education.

If he possess the required education certificate which is attested from Saudi Embassy from the country of study he can change his profession.
Is it possible company can use different title something generic to get Iqama approved ?. I am doing internal transfer in my company , just region going to change from Canada to KSA . Would there be any possibility if it is internal company transfer ?.
In advertised job description the requirement is 4 years engineering degree with 10 years of experience and Cisco certifications . I do full fill all the above requirement.
If some one has similar situation can share his experience , it will be great.

If you want engineer as a profession, get your certificates attested from Saudi Embassy in country of study and then apply for membership with Saudi Council of Engineers and then apply to change the profession.
HI,
I am a diploma holder in Civil Engineering, working as a Quality Control Engineer with a reputed company in Jubail.
My question is -
1) Can I register with the SEC as I have no degree, but diploma? All my documents are attested.
2) My iqama says "General Surveyor". Would I be able to bring my family on a permanent visa?
3) What is the procedure to change profession online? Especially, if I am unable to register with the SEC, is it possible to do it online through some other website
Please advise.
Thanks
Hi, Friend.
Can the profession be Changed on the visa the day I enter the Kingdom before processing my Iqama. OR I should make the Iqma then Change my profession.
My Civil Engineering Degree is attested by External Affairs Ministry Govt of India & by the Saudi Consulate (Mumbai) .

Please comment
IF youbgot the answer please let me know
Dear All,
I already registered with SCE through online SCE website, received memebership number but not yet received physical memebership card and certificate. The status of "Yaqeen Verified" and "Jawazat updated" is still not cleared/checked. I want to know why it is still red cross "X"
My profession is Labor and want to change to Engineer, I visited SCE branch office Jeddah, then they prepared a letter (informing about membership registered and membership number)Â to Labor Office, gave me copy of that, the original they will send to Labor Office.
I want to know how they will send the letter to Labor Office by post or email, and how long it takes time to update in Labor Office.
Thanks
Alhamdulillah, now the profession on my iqama has been successfully changed from Normal Labor to General Mechanical Engineer.
I have saudi council of engineers certificate can i change my category from carpenter to electrical engineer
