The foreigners who aren’t diploma holders, have to follow all the above guidelines, but when it comes to asking about your certificate or diploma, select ‘No.’

This registration without a certificate or diploma is just for a period of one year. After registration, you must get a diploma or change the Iqama profession. Once the 1-year period is expired, you will not be allowed to change your profession or renew your Iqama.
