Has anyone ever transferred from one job to another in SA? How is this done without grief?

Nothing is done in KSA without grief.. All you can hope for is a small measure of it....

First question, you got a no objection letter from your current employer?

OK i left my old company in Taif in Feb this year .
My old job was in aviation as a instructor in a certain field.
I then arrived in Riyadh with my Transfer letter
Easy me thinks!!! WRONG what a XXXX nightmare here i am 4 months and nearly a week later still no new iquama
They keep on saying next wed / sat Inshallah the clowns , sorry muppets down in the labour office keep on saying this paper isnt right then another paper etc etc,
so all in all YES IT IS A night mare.
The easiest thing to do would be to leave this sand pit and do a new visa run to another country and take a 2 weeks ish holls while they sort out a new visa and Iquama.
I have now said to my company if i do not have a new slippery lizard by the end of this month i am off. and this new (HSE) First Aid Fire Training Dept can set itself up on its own cos i will not be here.

P/s Any one in Riyadh require any first aid training, i am available.
