Hi shezad

You will need to organise replacements of the original documents - try approach the institution at which you got your qualification and ask them to re-issue the certificate. You'll then need to get copies of the new certificate attested for your visa application.

Have a look at the Expat Arrivals page on work permits for Dubai for more info.

Dear Shezad I know there are conflicting answers within this post, but would like to correct others on their answers. Its not necessary for an attested degree certificates for every positions. Its necessary for better quotas or positions in your organization but not for every position. for receptionists,cleaners, archive clerks etc you can get your visa without your degree certificate. even though most of the employers ask for attested copies of your degree certificates or ssc certificates, its not necessary for all job positions. I would advice you to have a word with your PRO and he will be able to sort it out for you.

I come from Holland and the recruitment agency in Dubai said it is a pre condition to get the certificates legalized. Without the legalization I would not been able to get a visa. Step 1: Get legalization from the University / High school Step 2: Get legalization from ministry of foreign affairs Step 3: Get legalization from the UAE Embassy I had to follow all these steps and it costed me in total 550 Euro (without the two working days I spent on it). Good luck

If you are from Canada and planning to travel, work or live abroad, you may need to have your personal and educational documents authenticated and legalized, also known as apostille. The authentication and legalization process enables a Canadian document to be recognized in another country. For more information on the process contact a service provider like International Documents Canada 1-888-433-1011, www.idocscanada.ca

Hello. Is it enough to attest only post graduate certificate? Because I have lost my college certificate

Yes you definitely need if you need to start working there as a chef or something else. I don't know if your educational certificates are recommended by your employer. But normally, employers ask for attested copy of degree certificate when you apply for the visa. It will be the copy of your hotel management degree in your case or your experience certificate.
