I've even written memoirs and a short story about how terrible it is. And it isn't even necessarily the teaching side of things that make being here so awful! |

A lot of this thread is now academic since teachers cannot get work visas/work permits. If anyone says they can get you one, it is probably a scam.
Unless something has changed in the last few weeks? |

I wouldn't be so quick to assert that teachers cannot get work visas/permits. I very much doubt it is so.
See the other thread on this topic which you started on this board. |

Yeah you are correct, maybe not so difficult after all. Nothing surprises me here! |

To make it worse, Gamajorba was snubbed by one of his Saudi friends from London !
Russia will be better for him. he is an expert at dealing with bureaucrats, and has fluent Russian. |

GotoRussia:
Not everyone has such a negative impression and experience, especially if they choose their employer carefully and are open-minded. Saudi Arabia isn't for those who are high-maintenance or have unrealistic expectations. |

Who would want to go to Saudia Arabia? Its an evil country where beheadings are the norm and women have no rights. |
