Expat Club Saudi Arabia! "interested? c`mon in!"

Salman Omrani · 2009-09-30T11:00:58+02:00

Howdy everbody! I've been thinking, and I bet so were many others, that we should stop talking about how to make friends and just get on with making them.:cheers: so I've got this great idea of starting a social network (in real life) so we can meet-up, have fun activities or share life experiences and even discuss business and politics in a safe and friendly atmosphere, I'll call it the "Expat Club" for now, once we start getting members we can actully make it official and decide what who and how. for starters, lets set-up a casual get together in Riyadh city (since I'm living here :P) on a weekend and findout if people are serious in meeting new faces and making new friends.. we can think-up some outdoor activites for later on, such as desert trips or tours inside as well as outside of riyadh, we might (depending on the members) organize visits or monthly meetings (or quarterly even "every three months) in others cities like Jeddah or Dammam. it's just an idea and its just the begining, it depends on you to make it happen. here goes nothing :P , I'm setting a weekend thursday 15th October as a first meeting date, your welcome to suggest a better date for valid reasons. so what are you people waiting for? lets hear what you got to say! :D Salman Omrani NOTE: This was an initiative made at a certain time and a certain City, this thread is to bring you all together and make your plans likewise so check the latest posts in this thread and find or fix meetings in your own area. all the best - Salman

Salam to you all, I've been checking alot of info online and getting from friends at KSA.
I was there for many years and after being away for a while, might consider going back to start work in the networking/IT field.

I understand that it's very important to have a good kafeel (which is hard to find, if luck ins't in your way) But I also wanted to know :-

1. What's the difference getting a transferable/non-transferable iqama, as far as having a kafeel is concerned?

2. Let's say i have a 2 year contract and a month away, if I'd want to leave the country to work for another company, is it allowed, as long as I've finished the contract?

Many thanks,
Muhammad B.
