No objection certificate (NOC) assistance

Safar Injaz is a UAE-based service that helps prepare a no objection certificate (NOC) where a Saudi visa case requires one. We check who must issue it and what it must cover, help draft it for that person or organisation to sign, and arrange notarisation and attestation where required. The signer issues the NOC; the authorities decide the visa.

Help drafting a no objection certificate (NOC) for a Saudi visa file where the case requires one, and arranging its notarisation and attestation.

Fees
Our service charges depend on the applicant's country, the visa category and the documentation requirements. Contact us for a personalised quotation: we provide a clear breakdown of service charges and applicable government fees before proceeding.

You're probably here because

  • The Saudi mission, a visa centre or another authority has asked for an NOC in your visa file.
  • You have been asked for an NOC from your current employer or sponsor, and you are not sure what it should say.
  • You have been asked for a parent's consent letter for a child's application.
  • An NOC has been signed and now needs notarisation or attestation.

What to send us

Start with clear copies. We'll tell you if and when an original is needed.

  • The request for the NOC: who asked, for which application, and any wording or format they gave
  • Details of the person or organisation issuing it: a passport or ID copy, or the company's details and letterhead
  • A passport copy of the applicant the NOC is about
  • Where it will be signed and where it will be used, so the right attestation route can be checked

How it works

  1. Confirm the requirement

    Tell us who asked for the NOC and for which application. We confirm who must issue it, what it should cover and whether it needs notarisation or attestation, and give you a quotation.
  2. Draft

    We help draft the NOC for the issuer to review. It is signed by the employer, sponsor, parent or other person giving consent, never by us.
  3. Notarisation and attestation

    A letter signed by a private person or company is usually notarised first. The notarised document can then be apostilled, if both countries are in the Apostille Convention, or legalised through the foreign ministry and the embassy. We coordinate the stages that apply.
  4. Ready to submit

    The signed and attested NOC comes back to you for the visa file, with a note of anything still outstanding.

What we don't do

Being clear about this up front saves you time and money.

  • We don't issue or sign NOCs. Only the person or organisation giving consent can do that.
  • We won't draft an NOC for someone who hasn't agreed to give it, or with information we believe is false.
  • We don't notarise, attest or apostille documents ourselves. The competent authorities do that; we coordinate the process.
  • We can't decide whether an authority accepts an NOC, and we can't promise a date.
  • We don't handle employer transfers or other procedures inside Saudi Arabia.

Safar Injaz provides assistance and coordination subject to applicable regulations and service-provider authorisations. Visa issuance and approval remain with the relevant authorities.

Questions about NOC assistance

What is an NOC?

A no objection certificate is a signed letter in which a person or organisation states that it does not object to something, such as an applicant travelling or taking up work. Whether a Saudi visa case needs one, and from whom, depends on the authority handling it.

Does my Saudi visa need an NOC?

Only where the case requires one. The Saudi mission, the visa centre or another authority handling your file sets the requirement. Tell us who asked, and we confirm what is needed before anything is drafted.

Does an NOC need to be attested?

Often, when it is used in another country. A private letter is usually notarised first, then apostilled if both countries are in the Apostille Convention, or legalised through the foreign ministry and the embassy. Since 7 December 2022, Saudi Arabia accepts an apostille on public documents from other Convention countries.

Can you write the NOC for me?

We help draft it from the requirement and the issuer's details. The issuer reviews and signs it: the NOC is theirs, not ours.

How much does it cost?

It depends on the document, where it is signed and the attestation it needs. Contact us for a personalised quotation. We give you a clear breakdown of our service charges and the applicable government fees before proceeding.
