Did any one check the news on absher website

bharoonrashid

Asalam-u-Alikum!
Brother Attesting your Degree has nothing to do with your iqama..
You can start attestation of your degree certification from now in order to keep it ready .
It will be needed when you want to change your Iqama profession or even if you want to request for new visa (profession will depend on your degree which should be fully attested.)

Yes, You are right, i m also thinking the same. My degree is not with me. It is in pakistan. I wil start the process soon.

bharoonrashid

yes,please guys share.
I also do not understand this "Decision challenge"

It means there is some way, through which we can challenge the gov and get our profession changed.
Allah knows better.

pls share if anyone have knowledge about this..

bharoonrashid

bro yes you should start it.. You need HRD, saudi cultural,then MOFA in saudi.. thatz it..

I found 3 news on Absher Website of 1st April 2018.
When I opened them then there is only one line
"This content is available in Arabic only."
And no any option to view Arabic content.

This is the news in arabic, this is translated version by google chrome

His Royal Highness Prince Abdulaziz bin Saud bin Nayef bin Abdul Aziz, Minister of the Interior, inaugurated in his office at the ministry office the platform of "Abshar A'al".

The Abshar Business platform is one of the Ministry of Interior's technical initiatives aimed at transforming the ministry's business services into an interactive digital environment to achieve the vision of the Kingdom 2030, especially on the technical side.
Abshar's platform aims to provide distinguished services to companies and institutions through the governance of procedures, improving performance and enhancing channels of communication with the Ministry's sectors, in order to preserve the time and effort of citizens, residents and businesses.

The platform enables companies and organizations registered in the service to take full advantage of the Ministry of Interior's electronic services through the implementation of services for registered employees within the facility, such as issuance and renewal of residency, transfer of services and modification of the profession.



The issuance and cancellation of the exit and return visa, the issuance of the final exit visa, the issuance of authorizations for the use of the most promising work, and the termination of procedures for the delivery of documents executed through the platform as required by the requirements of the service provider.

The inauguration ceremony was attended by His Royal Highness Prince Bandar bin Abdullah Al-Mashari, Assistant Minister of Interior for Technical Affairs, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Interior Dr. Nasser bin Abdulaziz Al-Daoud, a number of their Excellencies and senior officials of the Ministry of Interior.

Dear where this Red-X status will be shown.

Hasan2010

I want to bring my wife as my profession is Labour and profession change is banned but I got information that agents in jawazat can arrange visit family visa even if iqama profession is Labour.I talked to agent he said he can do it easily and he didn't ask for advance.I have to pay him after visa is processed.
Kindly tell me can I go for it?

imithiyas

hi friends

   Any one can tell me whats the procedure to change labor profession to engineer profession in iqama..
Already MY CERTIFICATES registered with Saudi  council of engineering, got approval and temporary membership..
NOW WE CAN'T CHANGE PROFESSION BUT I WANT TO KNOW THE PROCEDURE ONLY FOR FUTURE PROCESSING,
R

zeshan06

I have exactly same scenario, and had following queries with agent but they didnt give proper answer :(...you may also try to get these queried answered

1) You r from which city
2) how much fee did he  demand
3) Even if he get approval from jawazat what about embassy ?? Will they give visa because on the jawazat paper your profession vl b Labour and everyone knows that labor cannot bring family on visit visa ?? What if Embassy rejects ??
4) if embassy approves, visit visa is of 3 months, what if extension is required for further 3 months?? Will it b done online, as in normal procedure, or agent vl do it and any extra charges for it ??

Hasan2010

I have decided not to avail this option bcz its illegal and same thing I asked agent if visa is rejected by embassy in Pakistan bcz we have to provide iqama copy he said no problem in Pakistan bcz visa is issued from saudi.I will give you pakistani agent number I tried both indian pakistani but pakistani seems better than indian he clearly told me everything and asked 8500 and he will arrange visa within 10 days.if you want number than inbox me.but personally I am not going to avail this illegal option.

bharoonrashid

great but what about extension??? after 3 months , how many months you can extend again?? any confirmation

Hasan2010

Its risky I am not going to avail this option.

aliimran007

bro is he asking 8500 for visit visa only?? r u serious... u can get visit visa in 1k or max 1200 .. in 8500 or little more u can get permanent family visa.. dont go for visit visa in 8500 sar

zeshan06

Brother can u share contact details of any agent who can arrange visit visa in 1k or 1.27k.

zeshan06

Brother can u share contact details of any agent who can arrange visit visa in 1k or 1.27k.

Hasan2010

Yes I talked to two agents both asked same amount they said bcz we make illegal thing legal for you.both were working in jawazat.but now I am not going for thins illegal visa.INSHALLAH Allah will make things easy for all of us.

Bhadusha

@hasab2010@ Aasalam alaikum bro how much bro they ask u and where was the agents kindly share the detail.Jazakallah

Hasan2010

Sorry brother I don't know any agent who can take 1000 sar bcz for illegal things they always take big amounts.

Hasan2010

One in jeddah and other in riyadh

aliimran007

bro visit expatriates.com u can find many ads of agents for visit visa... for visit visa of 2 thousands u will pay 8500 sar, it will be the most foolish act.. i wud recommend then to go for permanent visa costing 15k approx .. and obviously u need agent when ur profession not allowed to bring family otherwise agents are not required and u may simply apply for visit.. ur paying them obviously for the work which is not allowed otherwise whats the purpose of putting them in middle

ahmad3338

Does any one have any update on profession change??

Hasan2010

Agents can arrange Permanent family visa if profession is Labour?for visit they are asking 8500.

aliimran007

yes agents can arrange even permanent for labor visa.. thats the role agent between when ur profession does not allow to bring family.. rates going on these days are approx 15k for permenant visa.. thats y i told u for visit only for 3+3 months he is asking a lot.. too much 8500.. for visit search any agent max 1000 to 1500.. u may easily find them on expatriates.com
