Work Visa Processing from Foreign Affairs Taking too long

MrFeez

Hello,

I got a job at a bank in Jeddah. All contracts signed with employer and it appears the visa process is taking too long, more than 3 months now. I wonder if this is normal or some rules have changed.


is there anything I or one can do expedite this process. my employer keeps asking me to wait till they hear from the ministry of foreign affairs. i am tired of waiting


Note that i'm no longer in the kingdom so I am applying from my original home country.


regards
