Post new topic

Hello,

I am new in this forum. But I hope somebody can help me to find answers to mine questions.

Company which willing to hire me send me block visa with the other then my educational background job title, and now I have problem to apply for visa to Saudi in embassy in Warsaw. Do you know why they can do it, are there some legal restriction to hire administration staff from abroad there in Saudi. Company gave me the enginneering job title, so I am not able to get visa. Do anyone knows what to do, and why they couldn`t put any administration staff position - is it legal matter?

Regards from Poland

Your company couldn't get administration visas from Government because of unknown reasons. So they decided to call you in on an Engineering visa. Now if you are not an engineer, you'll not be able to get the visa stamped on your passport. Even if somehow it is issued, every year you'll face enormous difficulties in getting your residential permit (called Iqama) renewed.

Your best bet is to ask your potential employer to get you a visa according to your education certificates/degrees.

Hello,
Am new here.

Just wanted to ask:

Does Masters in Commerce (M.Com & B.Com)degrees are sufficient for the visa of "Financial Analyst"?.

Kindly consider Pakistan as the home country.

Waiting for reply.

Thanx in advance

Thank you for your answer. My employer told me that they will apply for buisness visa in England and it will be much more easier because of my rotation cycle of work 90 on site, 21 in home country. Do you guys now how much it take to manage buisness visa. Company apply for needed documents today.

Best regards

Ideally one should Never Accept visa with incorrect occupation. Though, please consider that at times companies don't have visa for exact qualifications but one must make sure that it is somehow relevant and also it is allowed in the list of occupations which are allowed to bring in their families. Even your salary is 50K a month and your title is a technician etc you will not be entitled to brign in your family and not just that on arrival visa to GCC countries will not be available for you.
so be very cautious

if your co is giving you business visa its good though with limitations such as no account, nothign in your name. all this can be quite frustrating if you have plans to work here for sometime.
