I would like to know the rule regarding change of sponsorship in KSA.
My current scenario:
1. Arrived in the Kingdom in 2003 through a azaad visa.
2. Transferred my sponsorship to another company where i have been working from August 2003 to present.

Considering:
1. I have an another offer with a big salary.

Question??

Am i a legally eligible to demand a release from my sponsor since i have not arrived on my current sponsor visa?? What is the ruling on changing the sponsor when the original visa doesnt belong to the same sponsor.

Would be glad to know....

Replied you on the other thread:

Having come on someone's visa and getting transferred to your employer doesn't entitle you for any legal advantage of getting a transfer of sponsorship. There is nothing like that in the Saudi Labor law. To protect their business, the law authorizes them to issue the final exit visa irrelevant of any factors.

Morally, they must be nice enough to consider employees' requests. But again, how can you push someone to be nice enough?

Your best bet would be to resolve the matters in a friendly way so that both parties would be happy with the solution.
