Hello,

I got a job at a bank in Jeddah. All contracts signed with employer and it appears the visa process is taking too long, more than 3 months now. I wonder if this is normal or some rules have changed.

is there anything I or one can do expedite this process. my employer keeps asking me to wait till they hear from the ministry of foreign affairs. i am tired of waiting

Note that i'm no longer in the kingdom so I am applying from my original home country.

regards

Hello, I just want to provide update that I eventually got the approval after 6 months of waiting. It took over 8 months for my friends.

ciao.
