Question

I have acceptted a job offer on 20th june 2008

Also what are the living expenses there ?

Answer 1

The visas are already with the company when they hire you. They send it to their agent in your country who will contact you for processing. Since you did not mention the name of your country it is not known how long it will take as the procedures differ from country to country. Normally it can take from a week to 3 weeks to get your visa stamped on your passport provided all documents are certified, translated and accepted. Then you will travel to Saudi Arabia and the company will take your passport from you and they will submit for Iqama, oh before that you need to go through a medical test. The whole procedure can take about 2 weeks to 3 weeks. You can bring family only if your salary is above 3000 saudi riyals. All the best.

Living expenses depends on which city you will be in and your own standard of living.
