Help required in relocating toward Saudia

Amiable85,

You have asked a very simple and yet the most complex question in this world.

How much is the right salary? How much are the expeses of a family?

I am afraid all the answers are " RELATIVE" and "COMPARITIVE" It also depends on your present job, your present salary back home and your employer, your professional and educational qualification, the growth or decline of your specific industry etc .etc.

What is an acceptable package  to you may be totally unacceptable to another friend of yours since you have entirely different family circumstances.

I suggest you provide more information so that I could advise you appropriately.

Thanks riazcdki

I have a job offer of 10,000 plus benifits. Will it be sufficient for single living in riyadh.

I am IT professional.

Is this package sufficient to save some amount?

How much time a company take to get visa issued by KSA Govt?

It always depend on how yo uspend for your living, on an average you can easily save 6000 a month.
For VISA, also depends on company how fast they process, for a company a 2-3 days or a week is enough, as for my case they just gave me in a week. But the degree attestation took 40 days and final VISA 1 week in my country. I dont know how much time you might take in your country. All the companies have their headcounts, if you fall in available head counts then your VISA will be sent to you soon, If not then they take time to apply for headcounts for VISAS. Good Luck.

Thanks for rply.

My expenses are minimum.

My company said it will take 10 days for visa issuance process.

Degree attestation is compulsory for KSA?

and after getting visa from company how much time embassy take for stamping visa?

Amiable85,

I would like to thank suribahi for giving very prompt and accurate answers to your queries, I agree with all of them.

I would request you to keep a WIDER VISION for your employment experience in  Saudi Arabia. It may be a bit unfortunate to view it only as a means to save x amount of rupees and construct  a house or marry off your sister etc.

I suggest you should view it as the break through and the oppertunity you had been waiting for, it may give your an opening into further qualifications abroad, additional nationality of some other advanced country and a lot more.

The key is to stay positive throughout your tenure in KSA, do not believe in the stories of " How bad or how cruel the saudis are".

You will probably meet some of the most sincere friends here. I pray to god that you may become successful in your plans.

I dont know what kind of job you are coming for and whats your position. I can just advice for engineer VISA.
If your VISA is engineer then you must get your degree attested.  Without that you cannot get your employment visa stamped by embassy. After you get your degree attested, it will just take less than a week in my country.
One more thing, if you are a engineer and coming without engineer VISA, then it would be difficult for you to bring your family here in KSA. For other VISA types hope you mention it clearly and guess others might feedback to you on time. Good Luck.

Dear all,

My agent in pak told me that they received visa copy and the offer letter will be issued and it takes time almost one month.....
I am unable to understand why this delay happened in my work.

Is saudi companies authorise local agents (or manpower recruiters) to process the hiring and visa process.

And after getting offer lettr how much time the embassy take for visa processing and how much time taken by saudi cultural office in pakistan to attest the documents.


Kindly suggest and guide me in this regards...

If your visa is going to be stamped by the embassy in Karachi, the whole process including protector stamp and other tasks will take about 2-3 weeks if your agent is efficient. If your visa is being stamped form Islamabad, it could take longer.

Dear All

Kindly give me information regarding the process.

My degree attestation is in process and according to agent it will take 10 days and visa stamping also take 10 days.


Is this the correct timing and what are the chances of visa stamping???


waiting for ur kind rply.......
