Hi,
I am a resident of Jeddah and waiting eagerly for my ITA in coming weeks, hence i am trying to arrange the documents beforehand. I need to know few details about getting Saudi PCC for me & my spouse + Translation of mine a Iqama & PCC of both of us.
1. I got the letter from Sri Lanka consulate requesting for PCC and got this letter attested from MOFA. Does my wife also need to come to the Police station in Jeddah to apply for PCC.
2. How did you translate the documents and where? Did you get a translator's affidavit for the translations? or chamber of commerce or MOFA attestation would suffice?
Please clarify me on the above queries based on your knowledge and experience.
Thanks in advance..
The process for obtaining a Saudi iqama and passport can be complex, but it is important to understand the steps involved to ensure that the documents are obtained correctly and in a timely manner.
Here is the procedure,
Obtaining a Saudi iqama:
Obtain a work visa from the employer in Saudi Arabia
The employer sponsors the foreign national and submits a visa application to the Saudi embassy or consulate in their home country
Once the visa is approved, the foreign national can travel to Saudi Arabia
Complete the iqama application process with the Saudi Ministry of Interior
The iqama must be renewed annually
Obtaining a Saudi passport:
Saudi citizens can apply through the Passport Department's website or in person at a passport office
The application requires personal information and supporting documents, such as birth certificates and national ID cards
Foreign nationals residing in Saudi Arabia can also apply for a passport through their respective embassies or consulates
A Saudi passport is valid for 5 years
General:
Both the iqama and passport must be carried at all times while in Saudi Arabia
Failure to keep these documents up to date or carry them at all times can result in penalties or deportation
