Hi all,
First, thanks for the forum
I am moving to KSA, but need to sort out some documents, and I hope someone can help. By the way, I got the visas for myself and my family. I have 3 kids, two at school.
They asked for working experience letters to be attested by the embassy here along with marriage/birth certificates and the kids "vaccination certificates".

What are these vaccination certificates? How to get them?
Even after I got the visa, do I still need these certificates attested?
The working experience letters over the last 7 years needs authentication as well, is this usual to authenticate?

Thanks

This a new one on me(working experience letters) - what job are you going for here ?
Is this request in lieu of a degree or in addition to it ?

Thanks. I am a doctor. I was asked to get the last 7-10 years working experience authenticated by embassy. I imagine this will take forever :-(

Ah ok....I read the other day that they were finding a lot of people with fake degrees mostly from India.

Welcome, here's hoping you get everything sorted.

In the UK, all children have a red book that is provided by the hospital where they are born. This essentially is a log of the all the vaccinations they have received. You need to bring this.

For authentication of the other documents, the Saudi Cultural Attache provides this service. It is not uncommon for experience letters to be requested, especially where it concerns the medical profession.

Thanks all.
Managed to speak to Embassy, and apparently the working experience letters needs to get certified by a solicitor, then by the FCO, then the embassy.
