Dear HRGURU,
I herad that now transfer of sponsorship in online Process.
Please tell me how is it working.
How can I change my profession nad kafeel.
Thank you

Transfer of sponsorship is not fully online, neither is profession change. At some point your documents have to be presented to Jawazat or Maktab Al Amal in hard copies. The application process in both cases is now done online , but I have noticed that even then they request as hard copies / old forms once you reach the jawazat. Point being the guys who sit outside with typewriters and does this for you will be job less and now they wouldn't want that to happen .

Sir,

I came to Saudi Arabia on February, 2013. My Iqama profession is Building Electrician (Lobour). Since i am an engineering graduate, my post is electrical engineer in the company. Now, company is trying to transfer my visa from the individual sponsor to my company's sponsorship. But when my company secretary went to Jawazaat to transfer thanazil, he is informed that I must work with the current sponsor for 2 years then only I can transfer the sponsorship.

Is this information true or is there any other way. Company is not interested to offer me a new visa.

Thank you.

Its the standard rule - 2 yrs under the sponsor and cannot change. If you search in this forum or read previous posts you will get more info on聽 the matter.

Yes, not applicable to Green. It's 'grace period', not a honey-moon

Dear Sir,

Can House driver visa be transferred to any other profession in Saudi Arabia?

Profession change not possible. Transfer possible to some other house as driver.

Dear Sir,

I have been working here in KSA for 5 years and my iqama was last renewed by my sponsor during my second year of stay.聽 Its now expired for three years, he was not able to renew it due to reasons for which he is entirely at fault.聽 Now because of the nitaqat program, I took advantage of it and asked him for a release when i found a new sponsor who will take me.聽 He (current sponsor) agreed to release me but the problem is that he asked the new employer to get an iqama for me before releasing me (i'm guessing he wanted to avoid paying for the iqama penalties).聽 Is this correct? if not, which comes first, the transfer of sponsorhip or the renewal of iqama and who is to be responsible for the transfer procedures and fees. thank you very much.

The iqama needs to be renewed before the transfer. I guess your current sponsor is trying save the penalties by asking the new company to do it. If the new company is willing, all what they do is pay the fees / penalties while in paper the renewal will be done under your sponsor.

Under the new amnesty / grace period there have been news that professions can be changed but no substantiating rulings were announced. House driver visa normally cannot be changed, but you can try with a general service office as of now to see if this new grace period rules can help you or not.

dear sir,my iqama staus is white and聽 now i聽 completed ten month in ksa.but i want to know about the white color and second that can i change my sponsor if he has not work,waiting for your reply

I am still confused as to "white" status. As I understand it was for companies with less than 10 employees which are no included in the nitaqat system. Which means you need to change the sponsor if he has no saudi's under him. If not you need to wait for 2 years before you can change the sponsorship.

What should I do please tell me. Can I transfer my visa as iqama to my green firm company. Please let me know. Please Please Please Thank you.. orelse mbasitkh at least you tell me whats the procedure.

You need to approach the labor office / Jawazat with demand letter from the green company and they will transfer your sponsorship to the new company and subsequently get the iqama for you.

Thank you so much HR guru. Lots of people reached to Saudi on Red cateogry visas. Saudi consulate should stop this visa endorsment for red cateogry companies poor people from pakistan bangladesh India are getting affected. As they are purchasing visa in 20,000+SR. Thats too much price and they are sad.Saudi Govt should take this step

Govt. has already started such a crackdown. Soon all of this visa trade will be a past story.

Its not just a problem from the Govt, we are also responsible. Why are we buying visas when we know its illegal to do so?

As long as our guys' belief - that money grows on trees here - doesn't change, they'll not abandon considering azad visas as lifetime break-throughs. If you cease the supply, demand won't fall soon; but at least people will start thinking differently. I hope so
