- Processing Time: The processing time for document attestation can vary, so it’s advisable to plan ahead and submit your documents well in advance of your intended travel or employment start date.
- Saudi Embassy Attestation: Once your documents are attested by the Saudi Cultural Mission, the next step is to get them attested by the Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Pakistan. This step further validates your documents for use within the Kingdom.
- Final Verification: After completing both attestations, your documents are considered valid for use in Saudi Arabia for academic or employment purposes.
- Follow-up: Stay updated on the progress of your document attestation by regularly communicating with the relevant offices and tracking the status of your application if available.
