How to apply to study in Saudi Arabia from Uzbekistan

The school-leaving certificate is the qualification the institution attests and judges; the ministry asks you to attest certificates and supporting papers from the competent authorities specified by the educational institution.

A valid passport with at least 6 months validity from the intended date of entry to the Kingdom.

Proof of financial ability to cover tuition and living expenses or a financial guarantee. The page states no amount, so none is given here.

Saudi Arabia and Uzbekistan are both contracting parties to the 1961 Apostille Convention (Saudi Arabia in force 7-XII-2022, Uzbekistan 15-IV-2012), so the attestation of an Uzbek education document for Saudi Arabia is an apostille rather than consular legalisation. The Saudi pages say only competent authorities, so confirm the chain with the institution.

The ministry names no translation rule, only attestation by the competent authorities the institution specifies. An Uzbek document is normally submitted with a certified Arabic or English translation, and the institution is where to confirm which language it wants.

No page read for this file lists photographs among the required documents. The platform leaves the rest of the file to the institution, which normally asks for passport photographs, so have them ready.

The platform's programme search filters by language of study and offers Arabic, Arabic and English together, Chinese, English and French, so the language depends on the programme you pick.

The student should not be less than 17 years old and not more than 25 years for the undergraduate and institute for teaching Arabic language or the equivalent. The study-visa page sets a lower floor of 16, so the scholarship rule is the stricter one. The ministry states this on its public-universities scholarships page, as a condition of the government scholarships it awards, so a self-funded applicant should check the age rule with the university itself.

The study visa pages state that the applicant must be 16 years of age or older, for both the short-term and the long-term study visa.

The ministry lists the levels open to international students as Diploma in Arabic for non-native speakers, Bachelor, Higher Diploma, Masters and PhD, and sets the age limit for the undergraduate and institute for teaching Arabic language at 25. Those levels and that age limit are the terms of the ministry’s government scholarships, internal and external, not a universal admission rule.
