i find one way to do this my dear ..... and there is more i guess
you have to talk to one office * agency * for * astktam = Visa * tell them what you want . then your office or the agency will apply you as DH * houseworker* then you transfer kafala to your husband and then you can transfer kafala once again to any company.
there is more but still don't know if you need help with it i might ask some agency and do the request for you.
good luck

There is no official way in normal process to convert a visit visa to a permanent visa / Iqama. You have to leave and come back on the family / permanent visa.
Jawazat also clarified this on their twitter.
