My new employer says he will arrange visas for the family to go over with me. He's a government employer. It's all happening through the Saudi Cultural Office.

It is possible to do this, isn't it? He seems very confident about it and I have no reason to disbelieve him. I just want to be sure it is actually possible.

Cheers.

Teachers can normally take their family over. Some employers expect you to do a probationary period first. Other employers let you bring them in at the beginning of contract.

Who is your employer ? pm me if you want a bit of confidentiality.

How do they do it? My previous employer said he had to get authorisation from Saudi and then the visas could be processed in London. I rememeber they needed my iqama to be made first. Is it because this is government that they don't have to go through the same thing?
