Hi everyone, I'm very sorry to be posting this if the topic has been covered. I'm a native English speaker with a Bachelors degree, CELTA qualification. I'm wondering - how does this job look? 11,500SR per month. 36 Hour week (2 ...

I'm currently under my fathers sponsorship. They want to get me a work permit which requires no iqama transfer. The only benefit is medical aid and the school driver - which I have not seen yet Read More

My mistake. They said the 11,500SR is inclusive of housing and travel (although I will have to provide my own travel until they get the new driver). It includes medical aid. Definite no, then? Read More

I was talking to the lady who hired me, working as a middle man between HR. So I'm not entirely sure that she understands the process... I asked her if my dad should go to the jawazat and she said not yet! Are you saying my Father should go ... Read More

Hi, I'm back! Can anyone tell me how long the iqama transfer process usually takes? I have been waiting three weeks now and my new employer says they have not gotten approval yet, they said the jawazat office is still not ready for my father to ... Read More


Worried about Edex by sarasaberry
Hello All, I'm hearing rumours that EdEx may not have their contract with KSU anymore. These are just things I have heard from friends currently in KSA, and it's making me a little worried. The reason being, because I really want to be in ...

Okeedokee will do! Let's hope not, I only just finished so I wont have my physical degree for a while and I'd have to get someone in Ireland to drop by my college for a letter of completion (stressstressstress). I have my CELTA certificate ... Read More

Ok I lied, one more! So do I have to do a police check? Do I also need to get my college papers attested or is that only necessary when it's not an internal transfer? Read More
