The only flaw is Qiwa automatically renewing Contracts without asking for your permission. A company can renew a Contract on the platform with a salary that was not agreed upon or without you agreeing or while you are still in negotiations. Then you are stuck. There is nothing you can do to reverse the renewal.

Thank you for the enlightening session; I truly value the information shared. I have a situation I'd like to discuss. I'm from Canada and, over the past month, I applied to several positions and underwent multiple interviews. Recently, I accepted an offer from a consultancy firm. However, another company has also expressed interest and might extend an offer in the next 3-4 weeks. I'm contemplating starting with the consultancy but considering transitioning to the second company if they make an offer within my initial three months. Would it be feasible, especially if I haven't applied for an Iqama with the first company yet? Does securing an Iqama during the probationary period complicate the transfer process? I’m still in Canada and didn’t start the visa process yet. Thank you so much for your advice!!!

Hey! Thanks for the comment and really glad you found it useful! It’s been two weeks so apologies for the delay - what did you decide on? It may be feasible, but a lot of expense will be incurred by the initial company to bring you over and start the IQAMA process so it wouldn’t be very professional to then turn around and jump ship in my opinion.

Really informative video!! This is super helpful as I know someone who just signed an agreement and is coordinating with the company for the visa. However, they informed him that they are in the “red zone” for hiring expats in their saudi office (they’re an omani based company) and informed him that they would have him sign a contract with their sister company to allow him to work in saudi (under the same contract conditions). Is this a red flag? If it is, what are the consequences for the company and the expat? Should this person go through with it?
@petedoessaudi
@petedoessaudi Жыл бұрын
Heya - I shared this with Ibaa and this was his response… “Red zone means they are not allowed to recruit expats abroad, and that it a result of not meeting nationalisation requirements. It's highly recommended not to sign a contract with the company unless it settled any irregularities with (Nitaqat System) which is the color pattern that determine their nationalisation status, he should join with a company that has platinum color or high green. Also he should refrain from being sponsored by a company and to work for another, the company might pay a fine of 20,000 and the employee will have difficulties in claiming unpaid salaries, benefits and compensation.” Obviously each case is different, but I would say he needs to be careful as if they are operating like this then what are their standards like within the business - as Ibaa says, there may be issues with compensation or unpaid salaries and a whole host of other malpractices. He should definitely enquire about this and probe deeply with them as what they’re doing sounds like it’s a workaround the laws… Hope that helps?

Although I’ve never done this, it’s absolutely possible. Your company should help you with the process. If you have a valid IQAMA you’d be able to get a spouse visa and dependent visa for your wife and your son (names of visa type might be different now) I’m not too sure on the process so you’d have to give it a google / speak to you HR, but this is what all expats do if they have families with them.

Thank you mate, that’s very kind of you 🫶🏼 The number one thing you need to be aware of is that you’re only allowed one income (I.e. your salary from your contract) going into your Saudi bank account. Any other activity will be flagged and you risk repercussions. If you had your main job, you wouldn’t be able to set up a company or be employed by this Saudi partner either, you would have to be under that companies sponsorship.

My experience is that employees may come over on a business visa but then have to go home to complete the IQAMA process which includes criminal record checks, health checks, qualification accreditation etc). My understanding is you cannot simply just convert a business visa to an IQAMA once in the Kingdom. If the company HR you’re going to work for don’t know this and the process that would be alarming?

Yes mate, that’s one way to do it. But you’ll have to ask them how long this will be for as you technically you cant ‘work’ on the business visa, so it should be pretty quick.

Hi Pete/ Ibaa, I have recently cleared the interview rounds for a Senior position in Riyadh with a UK based Company. To operate in SA this UK company has employed TASC who has shared the below information with me: "We discussed the role of TASC as UK Company's Arabia branch Human Capital Partner in Saudi Arabia and the visa sponsorship model that we use to support our ongoing operations in Kingdom ​ We confirmed that you will be employed by UK Company, but that alongside your UK Company's Arabia branch contract, you will also hold a QIWA contract from TASC which is required to meet the requirements of Saudi Labor Law. Although some of the details may vary, the material elements of both contracts will completely align. " Is this acceptable ? Since they are talking about Two Contract here.

How to find Employer and also am I correct that US Citizens get more pay compared to other immigrants..?
@petedoessaudi
@petedoessaudi Жыл бұрын
I’ll have to have a think of how best to do that as it seems to vary by industry. I wouldn’t say it isn’t just US citizens, but generally people who have a higher baseline salary. I.e. if you’re coming from London, you’re likely going to have a higher salary (and higher expenses) than someone coming from South Africa so they need to make the offer more attractive for that individual. I’ve seen this in the gym I worked at, they started with expats from the UK and since then they opted for trainers from Eastern Europe because they could get away with lower salaries for the same work and therefore get more trainers in. I’m not saying this is right or fair, but is unfortunately how it is. Hope that helps!
