1. Sent a 30 day visa before a contract

2. Delaying flight arrival

3. Undisclosed work location

4. 30% of rent paid by teacher

Run away? or have patience?

30 day visa issued July 25 and will expire August 25th.
Do I have to arrive to Saudi before August 25th?
or does the 30 day clock starts ticking once I am in the Kingdom?

Dear Demigod,

You're kidding, right? Or, if not, just how desperate are you?

Regards,
John

All warning bells to run a mile.
A visa without a contract! So, you got a visa before you even knew what you were going to get / accept?

Panicking people into going before they get time to think and, once you're there, there's no going back. Looks like a new strategy to grab bodies before anyone else can.

There are lots of jobs in Saudi. Adverts everywhere at the moment but mostly with second / third rate employers. If you have reasonable qualifications and some experience, it's a job seeker's market. My advice would be to hold on, wait and choose something better.

Salary range? Split shifts?
Too many questions and not enough answers. But only you know if you can get better and can afford to hold on and take the chance.
