Live in bahrain- working in KSA : Visa, license & Golden VISA

iprad21 · 2022-07-23T08:21:15+02:00

Hi, I am an Indian expat working in bahrain. I am on family visa status. I am exploring job in KSA which will allow me to stay in bahrain and commute via causeway. I have a few questions for which i need your support. 1. The KSA employer will give me Iqama. Their Bahrain office will give RP & work permit for me and my family so we stay in Bahrain. In this case, I will have a KSA employer and a Bahraini employer. Who pays for the salary? 2. I own a car with Bahrain number plate & have a valid Bahraini driving license. After i get Saudi Iqama, can i use the same car and my Bahraini driving license in KSA? 3. What are the pros & cons of keeping the Bahraini driving license vs getting a new KSA license? Can I rent a KSA number car using Bahraini license? 4. Iqama - what documents do i need to get Saudi Iqama? How long it takes to get the Iqama? 5. As per Saudi labour laws, what is the indemnity [end of service benefits] and notice period? 6. Golden VISA- If me and my family get the Golden Visa in Bahrain, can me and my family just stay in Bahrain without any employment i.e. with no work permit but a 10 year Golden Visa residency ………and work in KSA? Appreciate if your guys can guide me. Also appreciate if xTang can reply. Thanks in advance.

Hello

I read your post that you got Golden visa under Highly talented category. I would like to apply for my wife, who is also a PhD in Medical biochemistry and has several research publications. I would like to know, if she has to attach all research papers as a proof along with her PhD/ MSc/ BSc degress, or is there any other way to prove this?
