Required Pre-Departure Documents
To avoid immigration complications, students should make sure that all Arabic and
English versions of personal documents contain accurate and exact information. This
is more important with passports, driver licenses, and academic transcripts. Students
should bring the following documents:
- Academic transcripts of all levels of education for the student and their dependents
- Letter granting the scholarship
- Letter of admission and I-20 issued by the university to allow student to study in the USA
- Saudi government employees should complete required processes at their institutions, Ministry of Civil Service, and Ministry of Higher Education
- Study plan (if available)
- Translated and authenticated copies of student's and dependent's birth certificates
- Translated and authenticated copies of student's and dependent's immunization certificates
- Copies of student's and dependent's Saudi ID, family ID, and marriage certificate, authenticated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
- Any documents that the student deems necessary such as a leave of absence for spouses if they are government employees.
