There are around 1 million Filipinos living in Saudi Arabia. At any point of time, if a Filipino worker wants to bring his family to Saudi Arabia on a permanent family visa, he will have to attest his Philippine degree from Saudi Culture Office, Saudi Embassy in Manila and Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Saudi Arabia.

Everything seems fine up to now, the twist in the story is that there is no Saudi Culture Mission in the Philippines. Even if you get your degrees attested by the Saudi Embassy in Manila, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Saudi Arabia would refuse to attest it. Here we are coming up with a solution.

Our esteemed reader John Dee V. David went through the entire process to attest his Philippine degree from Saudi Culture office in Singapore and came up with the following procedure. I really appreciate your efforts.
