Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common queries regarding Saudi Arabia visas, QVP, Mosadaqa, medical examinations, and document legalisation. For specific questions about your case, please contact us directly.
-
What is QVP and do I need it for a Saudi Arabia work visa?QVP (Qualification Verification Programme) is the Saudi government's verification of your academic qualifications and professional experience. For most professions, applicants now need to provide both their original degree certificate and an experience letter from previous employers. For some professions, QVP can be processed based on professional experience alone — even without a formal degree. Learn more about QVP →
-
Can I apply for a Saudi work visa without a degree?
Yes — for certain professions, Saudi Arabia accepts QVP applications based on professional experience alone. This typically includes skilled trades, technical roles, senior management positions, and specialist roles.
We assess each case individually to confirm whether your profession qualifies for an experience-only QVP. Contact us with your work history and we'll let you know within one working day.
-
What is Mosadaqa and how is it different from QVP?
Mosadaqa is the official degree verification by the Saudi Cultural Bureau in London, which authenticates your educational certificates for use in Saudi Arabia.
QVP is the broader qualification and experience verification managed by the Saudi government. Most Saudi work visa applicants need both. Learn more about Mosadaqa →
-
Do I need a Saudi-approved medical examination for my work visa?
Yes. All Saudi Arabia work visa applicants must complete a Saudi-approved medical examination at an approved UK medical centre.
We arrange the medical examination on your behalf and ensure the certificate is properly issued and accepted by the Saudi Embassy.
-
How long does the Saudi Arabia work visa process take from the UK?
The complete process typically takes 4–8 weeks depending on your profession, document readiness, and Saudi Embassy processing times. QVP and Mosadaqa verification can add 2–4 weeks, while medical examinations and document legalisation usually complete within 1–2 weeks.
-
What documents do I need for a Saudi Arabia work visa?
You need seven documents for a Saudi work visa from the UK:

The experience letter must be on company letterhead, stamped and signed, and include your job title, employment dates, and a brief description of your duties.
-
