Hi guys I am awaiting my visa papers from the company... waiting is bit excruciating as there is a lot of delay due to Hajj and bakreed so by gods grace i might receive it next week.... my question is what is the basic time it would take for embassy people to issue work visa(resident visa)....please advice...

However long they tell you, add 2 weeks and then double that number. Add that the the number of times you hear inshallah in one day and you should be just about right.

Hey, please dont worry! I got my visa within a week.....! as long as all the paperwork is done correctly it shouldnt be an issue!

all the best :)

Hey sumiuk thanks for the reply btw one more thing how many days did it take for u r papers 2 arrive... I knw it differs from company to company but just wanted to knw.... and are u in KSA???

I'm still in the UK but will be moving in 4 weeks! My paperwork was sent within 10days...but the recruitment company I'm dealing with are based in New Zealand! So that takes into account air mail etc!

If you're worried in any way just contact the company...it's their job to keep you updated...and reassure you! But just make sure you've waited at least a couple of weeks before u do!

Hope this helps! :-)
