Hi everyone,
can anyone advise, please, on the ins-and-outs of a second transfer of iqama visa? I have transfered my original iqama to employer number 2 and am considering looking for another employer. I had been told that it's the first transfer that's potentially difficult and dependent upon your sponsor's permission. But I was led to believe that second and subsequent transfers are easier, does this mean you don't need employer numbers 2's permission to transfer to employer number 3? I'm hoping that this is the case, but.... Any advice would be most appreciated, thank you.

No recent, personal experience but I am pretty sure that the process remains the same and you do require your sponsor's permission. When people say it is easier, they are refering to the fact that they know the ropes.

As i said, no recent, personal experience but I am willing to be corrected if things have changed.
