Sorry Citizenkane, I wasn't able to post a reply before the thread got locked.
CORRECTION: I wasn't told this, I read it here http://www.eslteachersboard.com/cgi-bin/intl/index.pl?read=15656. It took me a while to actually figure out where I'd actually heard/read it  .
I agree with Cleopatra, it is probably best to assume that it is still required  . |

| No, it's no more required, but I'm not sure if all Saudi Embassies have updated their data. |

That sounds pretty clear and unambiguous..... but one would have to wonder if every consular official in every Saudi embassy has got the message!
I also wonder if the fact that Prince Sultan Military College appears to be a government institution has anything to do with it? I did read a while ago that if you transfer from a private to a government institution you do not need the NOC. One hears so many rumours about that little piece of paper... but yes, as you say, I think teachers would do well to operate on the assumption that they are still required, and be pleasantly surprised if they find that they are not! |

thanks for this, Pikgitina.
However, as others have said, I'm going to be cautious with this one. Believe it when I see it... |
