Hi there

My husband is a uk citizen and took a job in Riyadh for a large international construction firm in December.

To date he still hasn't received his work visa - so far one has been rejected and now they are assuring him this time it will go through.

My question is - has anyone else had to wait this long for a visa and also how long once he gets his Iquama will it take to receive mine.

Hi,
It could happen, everyone has a different story with work visa or ID permit. It depends on the company status
