Please find my query : I have been selected as an Sr Engineer (mechanical) in 1 of the Engineering company in Saudi Arabia. But the HR people are telling that they will give me technician visa initially and will change to Engineer Visa after arrival at Saudi Arabia. I am worried that is it possible or not? I came to know that If someone came to KSA on technician visa they may have to face somany problems like family status will not get easily, visiting to near countries is not possible. 1)Please reply me what are the disadvatages if I come on Technician Visa ? 2) Howmuch time it will take to convert technician visa to Engineer Visa? What is the procedure and related issues? Awaiting your response? Regards

ASK your sponsor to get a new visa as engineer. I got the same issue but the Saudi embassy reviewed my degree certificate and Proposed to apply for Engineer Visa.. Saudi Consulate controls this activity..

Dear Murali,
Thank you for response. If we change the qualification IQAMA will this be fine? as work visa given to me is valid for only 3 months.
Thanks & Regards,
