Hi,

I came to KSA to work for company A who was not having visa so they hired me through company B meaning company B was my sponsor when in arrived in KSA.

After 6 months of working, my sponsorship was transferred to company A from company B on the request of company A.

Now my question is if I resign and serve my notice period of 3 months can I get iqama transfer as already one transfer happened from company B to A.

Any expert advise would be helpful.

Hello monis shamsi,

Now my question is if I resign and serve my notice period of 3 months can I get iqama transfer as already one transfer happened from company B to A.

I recommend you explore the Saudi Arabia forum to check if this question has been asked before. I am quite certain you will find some helpful answers there.

Cheers,

Cheryl

No, you need their approval. With your current company (sponsor of record), you have worked less than one year.
