Help Needed with Blocked Bank Account in Saudi Arabia

Post new topic

VENKATESH MOHAN

Hi all,


I worked in Saudi Arabia for a reputed company and project for the last 2 years. As the project completed, I left the company in the first week of September 2024 and exited Saudi on September 6th with a final exit visa.


I hold an account with SAB, and since leaving the country, my account has been blocked. My final settlement was deposited into this account on September 30th, but I’m unable to transfer the funds due to the account being blocked.


For the past month, I’ve been trying to resolve this issue without success. The company’s customer care advised me to get some documents attested from the nearest HSBC bank, which is 300 km away. I completed all the required formalities and sent both soft and hard copies by courier to Riyadh.


Yesterday, I received a message stating that the documents were rejected because my signature did not match. I am now at a loss on how to proceed. Has anyone faced a similar issue or can offer advice on what to do next? Any help would be greatly appreciated
