Hi Everyone,

Field: Tax & Accounting

Country: Pakistan

I have previously worked for 2 years (on contract) in KSA in 2019. As per my knowledge if you are looking for job in KSA you should take iqama and then visit KSA for job Hunt.

However nowadays I have seen many individuals who are getting visit visa and going to KSA for job hunt. Is this good strategy? as it cost less to take a visit visa, than to take Iqama.

Thanks
