* We are working hard on ensuring timely visa process. In case of any delay
in issuing NIT working visa for you, an alternative method will be used to
issue a business visa through our Recruitment Agency on a temporary package paid through the Agency. Once NIT visa is ready, you will move to the NIT contract based on the attached Job Offer. *

I have not heard of NIT having problems issuing visas. I thought they were a "legit" institution.

Also, what is the tax rate in KSA?

Dear NCTBA,

"Compounded hourly... "

Ah, but only for those living on compounds.

Would that be 0%? or 0.00% or perhaps 0.000000000%

The distinction is important Wink

How about the rest of the mumbo-jumbo in the contract?

Effectively, you are being cut adrift from the school's responsibility. There are no promises in the email, just some possible "alternatives" that may or may not occur.

Not to be offensive, but anybody entering the kingdom on a business visa with the purpose of gainful employment is a sucker. It's the employment visa, which would give you better "rights" that a "business visa" which is considered the largess of the requesting party.

If NIT, as previously reported, is owned, managed, affiliated, tinged...or whatever with the Bin Laden Group...how hard do YOU think that the company founded by the favorite construction worker of king a.a. would have to "work" to get you your employment visa?

I'm going personally for the Yellow Fever/Retinal Visa. I can enter any mosquito-infested optometrist's office for 5 years, multiple times, without the Iqama.
