Some Saudi work visas need your qualifications or work experience checked through the Qualification Verification Programme (QVP). We confirm whether QVP applies to your role, prepare your documents and submit the application, with or without a Bachelor's degree.
One qualification or an experience-based application. Usually 3–6 weeks.
Check if QVP applies WhatsApp usCheck before you pay. QVP depends on your Saudi occupation and visa category, so not every applicant needs it. Some roles need Mosadaqa or the Skills Verification Program (SVP) instead. We confirm your route first.
The Qualification Verification Programme checks that a worker’s qualifications and experience fit the profession they’re being sponsored for in Saudi Arabia. It’s one of several verification routes for a Saudi work visa, and which one applies depends on the job title on your visa block.
| What it checks | When it applies | |
|---|---|---|
| QVP | Your qualification and/or professional experience against the intended profession | Certain professions and visa categories |
| Mosadaqa | Your Bachelor’s degree, attested by the Saudi Cultural Bureau in London | Where your occupation requires academic attestation |
| SVP | Practical skills for certain skilled and technical occupations | Covered occupations; may replace QVP and Mosadaqa |
QVP and Mosadaqa are separate processes and are not automatically needed together. Business owners sponsoring themselves should see the Investor Work Visa, which needs QVP but not Mosadaqa.
For some occupations, professional experience can be assessed instead of, or alongside, a degree. It isn’t guaranteed to be accepted, so we review your profession first.
Each experience letter should show: the employer’s name and contact details, your job title, start and end dates, your main duties, and an authorised signature.
The exact list depends on your profession and route. We send you a tailored checklist after the first review.

Once verified, we can continue with your medical, FCDO legalisation and Tasheer appointment.
We match your qualification and experience to the job title on your visa block before anything is submitted, and check experience letters for missing details. The final decision rests with the Saudi authorities.
