Attestation Of ACCA for applying family visa for KSA

4POSTS

9 years ago

I am ACCA affiliate from Pakistan and now a days living in Makkah,Saudi Arabia. I want to change my profession for applying permenant visa for my family.
When i started to gather information i came to know that ACCA will be attested from UK as it is UK based certification,which make sense ofcourse. After checking Saudi Culture Buerue Uk website they stated clearly that application with distant learning will be rejected and as ACCA is simillar accounting program. For this all situation i contacted many agents in uk like gulf visa and many others. Some of them said they dont attest some said they do.
I have not forwarded my certification to any one, not to saudi culture nor to any agent because i am totally confused about all procedure.
I have been awarded with Advance Diploma in Accounting and Bussiness as well as with professional certificate.
My quries are:
1) Saudi culture uk attest ACCA or not?
2) If yes, then which certificate is more appropriate to be attested from above mentioned certifications?
3)one agent told me that no need to attest from saudi culture as saudi embassy attest it even not attested from saudi culture. Is this true?
4) if it is true MOFA accept it or not?

Thanks
Regards,
Umair Ahmad

Dear

I am having the similar issue. Through my research Ive found that Saudi Culture will not attest the ACCA membershio certificate but the embassy will directly attest it. I am using Gulfvisa and Ive been told to use my membership certificate for this reason. If you can wait for a month I will be able to tell you the result of doing so.

Yes offcourse i can wait. But i dont have membership of ACCA. I am just ACCA affiliate.
I have also mailed to gufvisa.com, they told me exactly the same that saudi embassy will attest it even saudi culture dont do it.

@mujtaba.. very sad

This is why some ppl in my circle are telling me, this is a fluke and judgmental thing.

If you are lucky you may get it, because with this also there is chance which may pass or fail.

Hi Brothers,

I'm currently based in Jeddah and very soon will get my Iqama application started via SAED.

I'm also an ACCA affiliate, the same with brother Raja Umair here.

Based on the above trailing email - it looks to me that there's no official guidelines for our case. It's more of a luck whether we will get our ACCA cert attested or not.

As an additional info - I've completed my ACCA studies in one of the local universities back in Malaysia (being an approved tuition provider of ACCA). Apart from the usual ACCA certificates issued by ACCA, I also hold a university cert from that university certifying that I've finished my ACCA studies there.

I've asked around that in ACCA case, and it makes sense that attestation should be made on the ACCA cert from UK rather than my local university cert.

To clarify it for all.

ACCA: Saudi culture will not attest it.聽 Saudi Embassy will.聽聽However, at times, Jawazat, despite Saudi Embassy attestation creates an issue saying that it is not a degree.聽 To circumvent that, make sure to have your "permanent" SOCPA membership print out when you go to issue family visa.

CIMA: Saudi culture WILL attest it but ONLY through the UK Embassy and ONLY for students who studied CIMA in the UK full time in a college (they will ask for your student visa).聽 For the rest, you are going to have to get it attested by British council in home country, MOFA home country and then Saudi Embassy in home country.
