Hello all,

Basically looking to teach 6 months max in the K.S.A. and then leave, so working on a work visit visa does not bother me that much. Does anyone know any companies/recruiters that are offering to bring in single male teachers on work visit visas?

Regards,
S

Thanks for the replies.

But those kind of offers seem limited. I was hoping if anyone knew of any recruiters/companies perchance?

Respectfully,
Siolo

SBC are currently recruiting teachers (not sure if male/female/both) on business visas.

Thanks for both replies....

It is not my intention to stir up the hornets nest, I know this is a issue which divides many on here, I am just seeking something ASAP.

if an employer offered a visit/business visa, and universities or anyone is happy to employ a foreigner, then, the status would be legal, as their names (university or contractor) will be linked to the foriegner as his/her sponsor.

For sending salaries overseas, one can either request the employer to direct deposit to the bank account in his home country ( minus the monthly expenses), or usually the employer arranges a letter to the bank for transfer.

Many of them also teach in the evenings or weekends in private homes, for extra income.

There are Plenty of fun gender-mixed activities on weekends to the desert, compound parties, and to nearby cities with like-minded people.
Big hotels allow non-related couples or groups to dine and wine.

But, going out of the country ( to Jordan or Egypt etc) will make the visa expired, and one needs a new visa to enter the country again.
For overseas trip, it will be best to time the trip with the visa run every three months, or the sponsor can arrnage in-country visa extension for another 3 months.

All foreigners who HAVE PHYSICALLY BEEN TO the kingdom of Saudi arbia will never leave ( the job), except when they were forced to, even they had intended to work for a short period of time.

Even for 6 months stay, who would sit inside the housing alone while everyone else might be hopping to Dubai or Egypt during term breaks??
