Everything in Saudi takes time.

No one can predict how long anything can take. On average, if the company has no problem and has a quota, the visa can be issued by the consulate in home country within a week after all the documents have been submitted. In my case, the company sent all the necessary documents within 2 days.

The only advice I give to people who accept job offers in the Middle East is NOT to resign until you have the visa in your hand.
