bhudsha , bro how much agent has taken from u... u mentioned 8000 for permanent or visit

Hasan2010

No permanent visa for amil.profession only visit visa and different agents are asking different amount some asked me 9000,8500,7800

Shafina Mahaboob

Will you Pls give me the agents number... Actually my husband try more than 3agents, but visit visa is also not possible...  😞. Did you get visa from any of the agents?

Shafina Mahaboob

My husband came to Saudi Arabia on September 2017 in labour visa... But he is working in IT company as engineer...  Company told us, once you came to Saudi we'll change your profession, but we are unaware about that proffesion change has been halted in Saudi Arabia....  Now what is the solution for this?

Bhadusha

@alimran bro its only visit purpose, some ppl told me up to 2020 it's not possible to change profession .anothers are told may b chance to change after Hujj we don't know exactly.my company also tried and tired so they have give me the temporary solution to me

Bhadusha

@shafina mahboob
sister all IT PPl only locked and injured this trap. ur husband situation also same like me otherwise convey to inform his company proper exit and came back correct profession visa now we don't have any other solution otherwise wait up to Hujj

bharoonrashid

Every where same problem!
I also cam on worker visa and that time my degree certificate was not attested and all.
And my friends told me , don't worry! once I have degree attested and all, you request your company to change your iqama profession.

Now when my degree , company approval and all is ready, I asked my HR (1 oct-2017) to change my profession , but he tried and couldn't do online, finally came to know that this service was halted by govt in Aug-2017.

Now I am depressed , I come back from my home in oct 1-2017 , with the hope to get my iqama changed and apply for my family visa. But untill now nothing happened.

I am worried as I am getting married in Sep -2018, I want to go home with visa for my wife other wise it will be problem for me .

Ya Allah Madad kar!   :(:sleep:nothappy:

Hasan2010

Simple solution go for visit visa and once profession change resume than gofor permanent or if your company has new visa than come back with new visa.

bharoonrashid

even visit visa ??? for how many months???? how many times & how long  that can be extended??

Hasan2010

It can be extended for 6 months and hopefully INSHALLAH Khair after hajj profession change will be open again so can bring our families on permanent.

I feel like time to go back, this country is no more for expatriates. Living with family and mental peace is everything.

Hasan2010

Everyone is planning to go back home or settled somewhere else rather KSA due to thier anti expatriate policies.this country is run by expatriates and without expatriates they can't survive.

aliimran007

@bhadusha...if u dont mind can u tell me if visit visa is showing on your absher or only on mofa site.. i just want to know now your visit visa valid for 90 days is in your hand... let say after one week process of profession change again open...then what will be the next step..can u take permanent visa without using this visit visa(before expire) or u have to use this visa in any case or wait for expiry then u can go to istaqdam for permenant visa ...
if anyone has idea about it pls share their thoughts...

bharoonrashid

Great Query..,,,
Guys answer if anyone have such experience or knowledge..???

Bhadusha

@alimran I'm not say anything about profession change within weeks reads carefully and my company only did visit visa for me .i never contact that agent my hr only find that agent.insha allah when will I got the paper i will post here bro .but more money we need to spend cover all my family will reach near to come  18000 riyal .i think u mistake my msg.i will plan to go exit and came back new profession visa .

Sana nayeem

If my husband come back,den he will get banned for 3 years,den how can he will go wid new visa?

Hasan2010

Your husband only has option of visit visa through agent and for permanent visa wait for profession change.and if his current company is giving him new visa than I think there is no problem he won't be banned from coming back to KSA.

Sana nayeem

He is trying for visit visa even,but no use,so am asking him to exit n come

Sana nayeem

He tried from many agents but those people are fake so dats wat

Hasan2010

I sent you numbers contact them.and how could be those agents fake who are not asking for single penny advance?they will charge your husband after giving him visa issued on your name.

Sana nayeem

Where did u sent those numbers?

Hasan2010

Inbox check sister

kamalkhan510

Sana & Hassan,

I have approached an agent for the same to get visit visa for my wife, its been a month since he is working on my application but no luck till yet. They never say they cnt do it coz they wana try luck aswell.

aliimran007

kamalkhan510... can u pls let me know your iqama profession...i know some agents who can take out visit visa for low professions as well except aamil...if your prof is aamil then it may cost v high ..around 6k 7k

Bhadusha

@sana@
sister i told he came proper Exit then he will back within days

kamalkhan510

Its Aamil bro... lol.. and i agreed with agent on 8k... now its been a month its under process ... still no luck... i found this a better idea to get my wife here for 6 months and by the time if profession will be changed i can get permanent visa afterwords. Lets see where the FATE will take us :p

Bhadusha

#KamalKhan@ ya bro its possible to Aamil visa person will exit and came back another profession ????

Bhadusha

Hasan2010

I also decided like you to bring my family on visit for 6 months after that will apply for permanent.let's see how much tine agent will take they told me one week to 10 days.agent showed me family visas issued for amil profession.

Hasan2010

Ali brother my profession is also amil and I have changed my sponsorship now waiting for my new iqama and than will apply for visit visa for my wife INSHALLAH Khair.can you inbox me agent numbers?I also talked to agebts and I have plan to proceed with pakistani agents but they asked different amount.

Sana nayeem

Am asking my husband to come back,becz it’s waste of trying wid agents too😐😒

Shafina Mahaboob

How could you change your sponsorship sir?

kamalkhan510

Hope for the best bro, my agent told me 3 working days and now its 27 working days lol..

Hasan2010

Hahahah thanks but after your experience I am cautious

Hasan2010

Sponsorship change means I switched to new company and transferred my sponsorship to new company.

Shafina Mahaboob

If we change to some other company,  then shall we get new iqama with new profession?
