I talked to 3-4 people here who gave me insight and hope regarding with my case. My case is almost similar to yours. My iqama will expire on sept 1. My notice period runs 80 days from now. The reason why i am so bothered is i dont have any work atm, means no salary nor source of income. The new employer is also bothered about my current employer's attitude. Too much pride and too much greed. I want to avoid the part where the new employer will pay for 10k riyal. But i think this is not avoidable. So i talk to my new employer that whatever the result of his decision, let say he will pay for it. I will be glad to shoulder the expenses but in exchange of reducing my salary until i fullfilled half of the expenses. Atm im still waiting for further response. To the people who helped me here, gave their thoughts and concerns,  i hope i can pay you back, i hope one day i can return the favor. But until then i will try my best to help the people on this forum.


Why you dont have a work atm? Right you are in a notice period? Did you stop? A friendly advise. We talk to a attorney regarding this. And he told us that its better to continue working if you are having a notice period. And most importantly still continue to work even if the old kafeel will file an exit visa. And if they dont want you to work ask for a paper that they are the one who made you stop working because they can file a huroob case on you

Hi,

I visited the labor office and they just told me to wait for the expiration of my iqama.

They just told me I can transfer without the consent of the current employer.

How long?? I mean immediately after your iqama expires, you can change without your current sponsor approval?? Or after 1 month of iqama Expiry you can change??

JinePad

Hi,

I just recently called customer support from QIWA and they told me after 1-2 days of the expiration of your IQAMA you can ask for a transfer request from your new employer and it will automatically be transferred.

Btw, I've been in queue for around 17 minutes before they answered my call.

I hope this gives also information to others, I am also having a problem with my transfer.

Hi bro.


How ur company put final exit.. do you have car on your name or house?

Hi,

I need a legal advice;
Last 2-June-2021, I accepted my new contract through the Qiwa-System and showing (90 day, Pending Notice Period Completion)
Nevertheless I served the 90 day notice period but when the period is about to end which is 1-September-2021 my current company is issuing my final exit visa & plane ticket (luckily they got 1-October-2021 as the first available flight)

My questions are:
1.    This Qiwa-System will continue & I will be transfer this September? Since I will be available until October
2.    What about the Final Exit visa that has been issued to me, Does it affecting on my pending transfer?

If pending notice period in QIWA it means transfer request had proceeded and at the end of notice in QIWA new employer has to arrange to pay for Iqama fee and transfer on his name.

Contact on QIWA helpline to explain ur issue so ur final exit could be cancelled

If the Final exit is processed already in Absher then transfer process will be holded automatically , so talk to your new employer and let them talk to your current one who put final exit.  Untill he will cancel your final exit which could be done free of cost with in a month you can not transfer.

Second thing pls check with your HR they might be thinking you resignation as to go back so they process everything for final, do the good communication and show them screen shot of QIWA that it has been accepted before and resignation is for transfer so why final exit. it could be the case bcuz usually HR and GR people dont understand or minor mistakes between these two can create a big problem

If the final exit is already issued then that transfer will be cancelled.
Now, talk to your employer or ask your new employer to have a talk with him.
And convince him to cancel the final exit.
If he rejects, you have to go home.

That's not your problem.
I think, there is an issue with the new employer.
His/her company has some problem or they simply don't have the right to hire anymore.

That's wierd.
What is your profession?
You should check your company details.
I think you are in some kind of a manpower supply company.
Or at least your visa is of that sort.
For more information, call Qiwa helpline and go to jawazat for complete details.

did you get any help

@Arsal7 My current employer has not uploaded my contract on QIWA. Would that mean I don't need any approval from my current employer to transfer the Iqama?

asgharaliccsksa

Dears,


I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out regarding my current employment situation. Despite not having an active contract in Qiwa or any manually signed contract with my current company for the past three years, I have recently tendered my resignation with a one-month notice period.


Following the completion of my notice period, my new employer intends to send a transfer request for my Iqama. My query pertains to whether my current employer's approval will be necessary for the transfer request, considering the absence of an active contract between us in Qiwa.


I appreciate your assistance and clarification on this matter.
