Dear All,

In September (2022) Imam Muhammad ibn Saud Islamic University in Riyadh interviewed me for a teaching position.

After the interview, they informed me that the university will process work visa. At the same time, they also informed work visas for public universities may take weeks as they need to get approvals from the ministry of education and ministry of social development and HR.

I am waiting for the visa from last 5 months. Does it take months to issue a work visa for working in KSA?

Is there anyone who is also waiting for work visa approval for work at Imam Muhammad Saud University or any other university in KSA?

Sincerely,
