@jhazz01 Hindi kasi concrete and procedure nila ditto sa saudi. as mention ni @PitMb kong ano lang maisipan nila, but the regular process is like this:
Procedure for obtaining a police clearance
If the applicant is still residing in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, he or she must:
(1) obtain from the Philippine embassy a Letter of Endorsement addressed to Saudi police authorities. To obtain this, please present to the Embassy a copy of your valid passport or residence permit (iqama), and pay the notarial/certification fee of SAR 100;
(2) bring the Letter of Endorsement to the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs (SMFA) for authentication. The SMFA’s authentication fee is SAR 30;
(3) present the Letter of Endorsement to the police station of the city district where the applicant resides. The applicant will be asked by Saudi police to fill-up a fingerprint card. The applicant should also be ready to present his or her residence permit (iqama) upon request.
If the applicant is no longer residing in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, he or she must:
(1) designate a representative residing in Saudi Arabia who will transact with the embassy and the Saudi authorities regarding the applicant’s Saudi police clearance. The embassy will only entertain or provide related services regarding applications for Saudi police clearance with the presence of a designated representative of the applicant, who will personally transact with the embassy and the Saudi authorities.
(2) send to his designated representative, not to the embassy, the following documents:
• A letter authorizing the designated representative to transact on behalf of the applicant;
• Duly-accomplished fingerprint card (with prints of all fingers) obtained through the relevant police authority of the country where the applicant is presently residing. If the applicant is in the Philippines, he or she should get a fingerprint card from the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) or the Philippine National Police (PNP);
• Photocopy of passport used while applicant was resident in Saudi Arabia clearly showing the applicant’s photo/data page and all issued visas;
• Copy of applicant’s Saudi residence permit (iqama);
• Two recently-taken 2” x 2” colored pictures with white background; and,
• Other relevant documents, if any, to support the application for police clearance.
Fees
Filipinos abroad seeking police clearances in Saudi must pay:
• a notarial fee of SAR 100 for the Embassy’s “Seen and Noted” stamp on the fingerprint card;
• authentication fee of SAR 30.00 for Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ authentication service, and
• the applicant’s designated representative should proceed to the Embassy and have the applicant’s fingerprint card stamped with “Seen and Noted.” The representative should also pay the notarial fee of SAR 100
• the designated representative should then proceed to the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs to have the fingerprint card authenticated. The representative should also pay the authentication fee of SAR 30.00 to the Saudi Ministry. Over the counter stamping / signature is done by the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs within one day.
The designated representative will then proceed to the Dirah Police Headquarters in Riyadh. The designated representative should submit to police officials the fingerprint card. The representative should follow any further instructions by Saudi police officials.
The fingerprint card, with the Saudi police clearance in the form of a stamp stating, NO CRIMINAL RECORD, and signature, is usually issued by the Saudi police within a week. Once released, the representative should make arrangements to send the fingerprint card with the Saudi police clearance back to the applicant.
Applicants residing outside the Kingdom are reminded not to wire money to the Embassy nor send cash along with their documents via courier. The embassy said it will not entertain applicants who are abroad who do not have a designated representative residing in the Kingdom.
The embassy also stressed that the Philippine government is not obliged to assist a Filipino citizen in acquiring the citizenship of a foreign country.
