Not THAT kind of 'work on the side'...

I am considering a job teaching (not ESL) in Saudi. I am interested in the job as offered, but I'm wondering how I can supplement my income there.

I am a lawyer and I am qualified to help people immigrate to Canada. If I have a website and I offer to do immigration papers for either (a) Saudis who want an easier Canadian passport for international travel, or (b) helping the Indonesian workers immigrate to Canada. I usually charge $2000 per application, and it's cash.

I don't think I need a Saudi partner.

I really only need a phone number and website, but how or where would I be able to meet my clients? Is there any suggestion how this can logically work?

Any opinions of mu idea are welcome, including the critical.

Many people offer this service in Saudi, but they are all males.

Getting clients won't be hard with some advertising... the problem would be meeting them, if they are male. If you are coming with a husband, it won't be a problem as they can come to your residence. If you are coming by yourself, perhaps you could go to their place of work. No one can accuse you or them of anything in that case.

You could also meet in cafes/restaurants... but risky that way.
