Need clarification on new rules for changing the company in KSA.

Hello danzabidi,

Welcome to Expat.com

Have you tried to browse the Saudi Arabia forum to see if the same case scenario has been discussed before?

By doing so, you might discover the solution to your query much more quickly.

All the best,

@danzabidi Hi, Ask your new company to generate a contract in qiwa. You have to give your details to them. After the generation of the contract, you have to accept it from your side and then your current company needs to accept it. 

You will be moved from your current company to new.

If your current company does not allow that then you have to talk them through by sorting matters between you.

Hope your task be smooth.

Thanks,

@PangeaWorldwide If current company still didnt agree to give transfer, what I can do legally? Please advise.

Legally, i recommend you to visit the Ministry of Labor (MOL) and from there, you can raise a ticket or complaint and request for local transfer of sponsorship to new company/ or new employer. MOL will then create either a 60 to 90 days notice period for your local transfer within which period the current/present employer will be either forced to give you a "transfer" or a "final exit only visa". If current/present employer opted the latter “final exit only visa”, it will notify MOL that your current/present employer does not want your services anymore. In that instance, MOL grant your request outright, and automatically transfer your sponsorship to new company/ or new employer.
