Posted: Mon Aug 17, 2020 5:07 am Post subject: Business Visas being issued? |
|
|
Hi, been offered a job and should have started already. Start date was moved to late July, then mid-August and still nothing happening. The letter of invitation I have to use to get a business Visa from the Saudi embassy in Bangkok hasn't been sent and the intermediary company cannot tell me when it will be sent. I have heard some people say that business visas won't be issued until next year. Does anyone know of theres any truth to this or is it just a rumour and gossip. Spurs me in a very difficult position if true. |

Hi silverbrain. I have no concrete information.
I think it is all down to the virus. A lot of borders are still closed and new visas aren't being issued.
Sorry I can't be of more help. |

Sorry to engage. I just wanted to give some information, as the board is pretty dead.
I am in Oman. All the airports are closed, except for repatriation flights. There are no scheduled flights.
I know people who got jobs here in Oman recently and were on tourist visas. The company has extended the tourist visa and is in the process of getting residence.
Sorry I don't know the situation first hand in Saudi. A friend is a nurse in Riyadh. She was unable to leave the country recently and all staff have been asked to take their holidays in Saudi.
Hopefully someone will post with first hand info. |
