hi guys

I want to work in Saudi Arabia as an esl teacher. I want to bring my husband and son as dependents. Is this possible? I have read that it is difficult for a working woman to sponsor her husband

Thanks in advance

It is allowed as per the regulations.
You need first to get your sponsor's approval.
