"Workforce Solution" just told me they are offering me a job but honestly, it seemed to easy as I was always being turned down for Saudi jobs in the past.


Does anyone have experience with these people? Is it just a scam?


Also, side question, if it is reputable:

Does everyone need a criminal background check and an HIV check in order to get a Saudi visa?


thanks!

Why do you think you were 'always being turned down'? Was it due to insufficient qualifications?

Never heard of them, and I've been in the Kingdom for several years. Having said that, the general rule is to be very wary of new, lesser-known outfits.

Everyone has to do a HIV test (among other medical tests) but the criminal background check depends on which embassy you are using - some require it, some don't.

BTW by the sound of the above, you are being offered a full working (as opposed to 'business' visa). That at least is a good thing!

I have never heard of them either. So no reputation - does that mean they are not reputable ?

What exactly is "Workforce Solution" offering? Ask them specifically if they are providing an Employment Visa.

It seems they are only offering $2,000 per month according to the ad I found at eslbase.com. That's very low. Not worth going to Saudi for that.

I totally agree. $2000 a month is not enough to come here. You should aim for at least $3000 a month.
