The Consulate for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia – United Kingdom has announced new document formalities for Commercial, Work, and Business Visit Visa applications filed in London. The Ministry will now require that all company support letters filed for these visa categories be submitted on company letterhead and attested by the UK or Arab British Chamber of Commerce.
Companies that are not yet registered with the Chamber must do so before requesting any of the mentioned visas.
When an employer registers with the Chamber of Commerce, a list of employees designated to sign the company letterhead documents must be provided along with each employee’s signature. The registration and attestation can be done in the same day, but it is recommended that companies allow for additional time in the application process for these updated requirements.
