Important: NAVTTC Skill Verification Program for Saudi Arabia work visa 2026.

NAVTTC Skill Verification Program for Saudi Arabia Work Visa:

The Skill Verification Program (SVP) is a joint initiative of Saudi Arabia’s Takamol Holding and Pakistan’s NAVTTC, launched under Saudi Arabia’s Professional Verification Program. It aims to provide employment only to skilled workers and minimize the participation of unskilled workers. This effort was appreciated by many people, looking forward to getting a job on behalf of their skills. Skill verification is now mandatory for Pakistani workers heading to Saudi Arabia in the occupations notified by Saudi Takamol; NAVTTC currently tests 108 approved trades. This program was first announced in July 2021 to ensure that the worker has the necessary skill set in the profession they want to work.
