Visa agent in the UK
Hi all, can you please advise a trusted visa agent in the UK?
I'm in the process of applying for a visa and the employer (in KSA) has asked me to provide him with a name of the agent in the UK.
Thanks
Mike

Avoid Harley like the plague. They're rude, unprofessional and inefficient. I was warned against going with them but I found out the hard way about them! Some people are positive about them but when they screw up, boy do they screw up. They also don't seem to be fully informed about the latest visa developments with respect to Saudi so be careful.

I wish people who've had negative experiences would also post on the forum so we get a balanced view but when it comes to dealing with Saudi visa issues, they're the pits! You would probably be better off going through the process yourself as my friend who warned me about them did...unless you like to be fleeced and spoken to rudely by a patronising chain-smoking idiot.

This whole negativity thing makes me wonder what your agenda is...

Don't get all paranoid. I thought this was a forum for British expats anyway. Never mind. I did some searching and there seem to be two companies going by very similar names. One is apparently reputable and is called HARLEY MEDICAL & VISA SERVICES. Their address is: 15 Harley Street, London W1G 9QQ.
However, there is also a company calling themselves Harley Medic International Visa Processing & Medical Service and their address is: Suite 833, 19-21 Crawford Street, London, W1H 1PJ. There is a lady called Michaelle who seems to be running this place. They caused me a great deal of distress almost every step of the way and don't seem to be familiar with the latest developments in the Saudi visa acquisition processes.
Please be careful, people. Choose the right Harley!

I like your dig at my not being British by the way. Very mature!

Re: Visa agent in the UK
Hi all!My husband is currently waiting for his permanent work visa and went with gulf visa and he has been waiting for the past year for it to come through with no success. He works for a private property business in riyadh.Initially when he started his job in june 2011 he used multiple business visas to enter and exit ksa for the first 6 months and is now waiting for his permanent work visa (as far as my understanding this is called the iqama).
I wouldn't recommed gulfvisa just because they have been so so slow and my husband has still yet to apply for me and my daughter to move to saudi. Can anyone offer any advice please as to how we can speed things up as it seems to be taking forever! At present we are both in the uk and british born. Would appreciate any advice,this is all new to both my husband and i.
Many thanks
