Hello everyone please give me some advise what to do.

here my questions:
Do I have to change my position written on my Iqama?
Is it my responsibility or by my employer?
Do the Saudi Government will penalize me?

Please I would appreciate your help.

Thanks, Jess

Changing your profession is the responsibility of your employer, however if there are no visa slots available and that is why you were registered as mechanic , you have to wait for those slots to open. Being registered as a mechanic does restrict your movements in and out of the kingdom to a degree because your will not be able to get a multiple entry and exit visa. Rectify your status as soon as possible. Hope this helps a bit.
