Article body

Core documents for every applicant

A valid passport with sufficient remaining validity, passport-size photographs, educational certificates, experience letters, and a police clearance certificate where required.

The applicant must also pass the destination country's medical examination, done at an approved medical test centre for the relevant country.

Attestation of certificates

Many Gulf employers require attested educational and experience certificates. Attestation authenticates your documents through a defined chain of authorized offices and can take time — begin early.

Common pitfalls

Expired passports, mismatched names across documents, and missing attestation are the most frequent causes of rejection or delay. Review every document for consistency before processing begins.
