For returning teachers who wash their passports, get a new job and have a new slate to work with, do the retina scans and fingerprints pose an issue? One would presumably be rescanned and fingerprinted anew as one would be coming again for the first time!

I have no NOC letter, so I might have to go this route. Former employer won't supply a NOC, but the new employer insists on one if one has worked in KSA within the last two years.

(And I swore I wouldn't be coming back to work in Saudi....!!! But here I am.)

Never say never. I said it once and came back twice, (or was it thrice).

Hi WW,

If the retina scans are anything similar to those used by the UKBA, then you shouldn't have anything to worry about, these are useless and are being phased out in the UK. However I am not sure about finger prints. Rolling Eyes
