Post new topic

Dear All,

I would like to change my profession on my aaqama as needed by my company. They have provided me 2-3 titles / professions related to computer/network technician. My kafeel is refusing to give me any of those professions whereas he has changed my profession to "FANI ELECTRONIYAT" which is not even related to a "Computer Repair Shop" license. Please help me get a list of allowed professions on this license so that I should be able to talk to both parties to have the issue resolved.

Hello,

Thanks for getting back to me. The new employer (Saudi HR guy) said its OK but the better need to have a profession like Computer Technician or Network Technician. Thn I contacted my Kafeel to ask for this and he replied that he cannot do it as "FANI ELECTRONIYAT" is the only profession available on his license.

Therefore I though I should try to get a list of allowed professions for a computer repair shop. This is how I can tell / show both parties what can be done what cannot be..... having something in black and white as I have to call thm and thy both do not try to talk to each other and I am being a football..... Please advise.

if u r willing then why your company is not taking you under their sponsorship?or better convince them that it is also a technical profession as per me this is OK for computer technician,i had the same profession and i was working in telecom sector.i don't have the list of professions need for computer repair.
