Dear Friends,

Do anyone know that weather we can have the Saudi work visa stamped from the Bahrain,  by staying in Bahrain for few days and stamped from the Saudi embassy there ?

Only if you have a residence visa in Bahrain and your employer has dedicated a visa to the consulate there for your nationality out of the quota.   Failing that, only if your employer has really high level connections.

I got my work visa stamped from Bahrain and detailed the process on another thread.  But I fulfilled both conditions - I have a residence visa in Bahrain plus my employer dedicated a visa to Bahrain for my nationality out of their quota.  Then gave an e-wakala to an agent who got it done through VFS.

Thanks dear for the useful information.
What do you mean by "Out of their Quota"  ?

XTang

Every employer gets a quota of visas by nationality and profession on their CR.  They then designate those to the consulates in countries.  For ease of management, most employers, designate those to consulates in nationality country e.g. Indian accountant visa designated to Saudi consulate in India etc.   So if an Indian accountant wants to come from Bahrain, they must have a spare undesignated visa to allocate there....which most employers don't have.

Anyway forget about this as this is not under your control and you can do nothing about this - only your employer can.  And if you don't have a Bahrain residence visa, then more or less forget about it.

Can anyone please let me know is it ideal to give 24 hrs resignation after flight ticket booking or to give resignation of 1 month once  Saudi visa stamped in passport please let me know especially in covid situation

Which country are you employed in?   and that depends on the notice period in your contract.   Usually, 24 hour notice is only acceptable during probation period.

@XTang Thanks for giving information on this forum. Can you please let me know which agency you utilized for Saudi work VISA stamping

XTang

As far as I know, there is only one authorized by VFS. This is diplomatic manpower on exhibition road. Google them.   I used them.

Thank you very much, got them in new name as “Diplomat Management Services”.
