I have residence visa in UAE. My family is with me under my sponsor.
Now I got a job in Saudia. I willl move within a week without cancelling my and my family's visa in UAE.

Questions

1) Is it possible to get Saudi Work Permit (Iqama) in Saudia without cancelling UAE residence visa?

2) After getting Saudi Work Permit (Iqama), I will back to UAE and cancel my family visa and mine, is possible?
 
I just got KSA Professorial Work Visa but UAE visa is still valid.

Can I drive with my car from UAE with out the export-number-plate
i.e; on Dubai number plate.
Because the car I have is older than 5 years and I think it can not be exported to KSA.
Would I be allowed to drive it in KSA after I get Iqama stamped .... I am planning to drive back to cancel my UAE visa later and sell it in UAE and buy newer one then drive back with Export Plate.
 
Can you please tell if it was possible for you (to get Saudi Work Permit (Iqama) in Saudia without cancelling UAE residence visa?) because I am in the same situation nowadays and pretty much worried. Looking for your guidance and kind response.

Hi... can you please let me know if you were able to get a saudi visa while keeping your uae visa. I am in a similar situation right now, and i have 3 kids with me here in dubai. I am a single mom and my kids are studying here. If my visa here gets cancelled, then my kids education will be affected. Can you share your number with me so I can directly call you to ask about the process you went through? Please.
 
hi! came across your posts while searching for answers to my own queries. hope you can help me. we are from india and are based in dubai for a while now. my husbands company in dubai is transfering him to saudi and i want to know if its possible for him to get employment visa for himself and residence visa for myself and my daughter form dubai itself without going back to our home country?
we dont eant to packup and go to india first and then wait there for visa and then pack up and move from india again to saudi...it would be much stressful and the visa procedures from india are very tedious. hope you can help get me some answers.

thankyou
 
Hi mals1412! I think to have a saudi Visa stamped, you must have to go back to India and as far as keeping both Visas is concerned, uptill now the information i have gathered it seems that you can keep both without any difficulty. If your employer in Dubai lets you retain the Visa without cancelling it.

Further if you receive any information in future do share with me too so that we both can help each other.
Do share your details(if it is possible for you) to have a conversation and solution over this issue for guidance for both of us.

Hi All,

I am in similar situation and need advise.

I have Saudi residential permit and I have good offer from Oman. But my Saudi employer is not giving me Exit.

So is it possible to get Omani Visa stamped in my port without cancelling the Saudi Visa?
 
Dears,

I am in similar situation. can any one help?
I am currently in Riyadh and my Sauid Residential permit is valid till November 2014.
I got a good offer from Oman but my Saudi employer is not giving me Exit. So I am planning to go back to India on exit re entry and will go to Oman from India.
So I want to know that whether there will be any issue while stamping Oman visa because of not cancelling my Saudi residential permit.

Hi,

Could you please confirm if having UAE residency valid, I can come to India and get Saudi visa stamped. If that is possible, will I be allowed to go back to UAE and complete the process of exit without any problem.

regards,
Ejaz

One of my friends got Saudi visa stamped from Islamabad without cancelling his UAE visa.

For me my agent asked first I need to cancel UAE visa and then he will take the visa papers and relevant docs from me for Saudi visa stamping.

I think it depends on agent. Saudi Embassy has no issue.
 
thank u hanali for your response.yeah lets c what our agent can do. yours visa was attested from khi or islamabad
It was from Karachi.

dual work visa

Now I got a job in UAE. I will move within a week without cancelling my and my family's visa in KSA.

Questions
1) Is it possible to get Dubai work visa in Dubai without cancelling KSA residence visa?

Good day to you!

I have some question regarding my KSA Working Visa. I applied for a 180 days (6 months) KSA Working Visa and got stamped on 5th of May 2017.

My present Dubai visa and resident visa is still valid until February 2018. But my employer is planning to transfer my work and residency visa to one of his new established company.

My question is, will my KSA Visa be affected? The thing is I applied for KSA visa using the present employer which will be cancelled and transferred to a new company.

Your quick response is highly appreciated!
