getting an appointment in ISTIQDAM is quite frustrating as it is always showing that "NO AVAILABLE APPOINTMENT". Is anybody here has any idea or any person whom we can contact in istiddam riyadh any info regarding on how to get appointment?

If you can wake up early, try at around 4am. This is how many people doing it. As soon as they open slots early morning, people rush and book it.

Or

Keep trying. Hope soon you'll see many slots empty surprisingly (happened with me twice).

You can only book a schedule in the same city you are living in or you can have an appoinment in any of the branches? Like working in riyadh but booking a sched in dammam? Riyadh's appoinment schedule i believe is not working

I am checking every hour. No appointment available, i visited the istiqdam office today morning to speak eith people who are applying for visa with appointment.

Almost all whom i spoke with told me they got appointment some 2 weeks ago. So they expect it open for the next slot soon mostly this weekend.

If any of us see the open appointment please update here so that others trying will benefit too.
