Hi All,
I have recently accepted a job offer from a company in Riyadh. I am currently based in Jeddah and have been working in Company X for 4 years.
In order to complete the transfer process to my new company, the old company X requested for a demand letter and also ministry of labor online transfer request. My new employer has provided me the demand letter attested from chamber of commerce which I have already shared with Company X. The HR person stated that he also wants to see the Ministry of labor online request before giving me any approvals.
Ministry of Labor Naqal Kafala (sponsorship transfer) service has been down since 3 weeks after the Cyber attack on MOL and everytime i call them through Call Center, they state that it will be fixed in a few days. My old employer is pushing me to complete the transfer process as soon as possible as my notice period is already finished with the old Company X
Has anyone faced the same issue?
Is there any alternate solution to the above problem? Does anyone know when the sponsorship transfer service will start working again from MOL?
I am stuck in this situation and would appreciate some help from anyone.
Regards
Ahmed
