Any info about SBC (Saudi British Centre)?

There's info on them within this forum. Use the search function at the top of this page (appears under "Job Discussion Forums"). Type in 'SBC' and tick 'posts'. Alternately, simply scroll down the Saudi forum pages for threads as far back as 2012 and you'll see them listed.

Thank you.

If you can give me your perspective.

All I know about them (if you're from the UK) is that they make you pay for your own visa, whilst the company on the other side of the road (AETG) only leaves you out of pocket with a trip to London for the broker/medical (if coming on iqama pathway) and the trip to the airport.

Unfortunately if that is the case, get in touch with the agency who recruited you and ask them if they can get SBC to reimburse you.... the price is VERY steep - almost £750.00 (visa, medical, stamp, etc), plus your journey to the medical centre.

....have looked at the SBC advertisement and it states-

' Visa expenses (including medical and visa fees) covered/reimbursed upon arrival'.

Hope this helps.
