The Ministry of Foreign Affairs or MOFA of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is the ministry that deals with the country’s foreign relations. MOFA deals with KSA’s foreign financial, cultural, and political issues.
These services include issuing visas and verification of all kinds of documents. Any document issued outside of Saudi Arabia requires attestation from MOFA to be valid in KSA.
However, attestation of any document by MOFA is done for a fee you must pay within 3 hours of booking the MOFA appointment. But sometimes, you might not need the attestation anymore.
