Hi,

I am from India. I want to know whether I need to get my degree certificate attested from my home country everytime i go to Dubai for job visa.

Actually i completed all my attestation work from my home country on my MBA Degree but later my recruitor informed me that the client is facing some problems in visa generation and unfortunately i could not go.

Now if i want to go for another job visa in the same country DUBAI, so will i have to get my degree attested from my home country again or not ?

I shall be waiting for your kind response.

Hi Kashi

Only the UAE consulate would be able to give a final answer. There are consulates in Mumbai and New Delhi.

I think that you might be able to skip getting your qualifications attested by the Indian authorities again, especially if you still have proof of this.

You may have to get your degree attested by the UAE authorities again, since it is a seperate application.

Again, I would recommend speaking to the consulate. That said, the safest thing to do would be to get everything attested again, especially if it's been a while since your last application.

To refresh your memory on all the procedures, have a look at our Work Permits for Dubai, and Visas for Dubai pages.

Best of luck

Usually, visa attestation is required for certain positions only. This can also depend on where your company registered; but if you are getting a visa as a Manager, you will need to get your visa attested by the UAE Consulate/Embassy in the country where your diploma was issued.
