Document needed to get visa for engineers
You have got to offer the attested original copies of your real degree/diploma certificate and any other succeeding engineering credentials along with their related academic record (example listing of subjects learnt and results achieve). Never ever send the syllabus of the course which you have studied. Attested copies are to be provided straight from the original documentations, which the person who is attesting must see before attesting. A real document is more often than not different from a duplicate photocopy or any other such replica. A real document may sometime have an executive emblem, seal, rubber stamp or a watermark, or may have a signature which is not printed but is handwritten. It should be wise to mention here that the colour scanned copy which is emailed or facsimile copies of the documentations are not accepted by the department. The attested duplicates having the original sign of the attester have to be forwarded as a printer hardcopy by post or by courier.
