thanks V8
but there are lot of job opportunities in saudia as compared to UAE and salaries are also good in saudia, and living cost electricity groceries fuel and rentals are also very reasonable as compared to UAE don't know anything about Bahrain though.
but one thing is for sure no social life in saudia as in UAE

@makerazy
First of all bro no one gets job while sitting here in pakistan for that you have to purchase
azad visa or work permit. these online jobs wont get you one until your there. once your there you can find a suitable job

One of my second cousin did MBA from lums in 2010. he looked for a job for like 8 months or so (in Pakistan) but didnt find one... MBA from LUMS...!!!

then, he started applying to jobs online all over the arab world, uae, ksa, bahrain, qatar etc etc, 3 months later he was in KSA, working on a salary of 8500SR + 2800SR accomodation allowance + a 2011 toyota camry from the company. about 2 months back he visited Pakistan for 18 days, company provided return ticket (paid leave)... howz that? but then, he had an MBA degree from Pakistan's best business institute.

before being offered a job in ksa, he was also being interviewed by some company in dubai but things didnt go well.

The point i wanted to make here is, keep applying for jobs online, find all the websites u can, atleast try for a few month and then think about sending 300k on visa. try to find one in KSA, salary range is almost the same as in uae but one can save a lot more there... so, keep trying, keep ur hope high and best of luck...

If someone goto Saudi arabi on Umrah visa then is it possible to find a job there?
How he will find a job! I mean whats the procedure of applying for a job, is there any company? how he will know that there are some vacancy in a company? or he will read newspaper etc.

Now I am thinking about KSA. Just had a talk with a Bro from Pakwheels and he explained it all to me. Thank you.

I am still collecting as much information as I can regarding the Azad visa, I don't know anything about this, Maybe it costs between 10k to 12k riyals, I am willing to pay for it but haven't found a reliable person yet. I heard that the Kafeel who sells us the visa can blackmail us. So we should be very careful before buying it.

If anyone knows about this azad visa thingy, Kindly let us know ? Is it good to buy one and find jobs in KSA ? Thank you.

I have tried numerous times by applying online for jobs in middle east, relevant to my experience, but somehow didn't got any call from anywhere. Is there any recruiter agent in middle who can help? my area of expertise is telecom revenue assurance.

waqar_uae (waqar_uae) 2012-05-23 12:25:31 +0500 #97

Same here Bro, I did received some emails for interview from companies in Dubai, telling me to come there but I replied them to take an online interview as the interview dates were just 2-5 days ahead and I don't have any visit visa but they never replied to my suggestion regarding an online interview.

There are many recruiters in Pakistan but lots of them are doing frauds, They'll take money from you and send you on a very good package like 6000+ AED per month but when you'll reach there, you'll get 2000 AED and the worst work you can imagine.

waqar_uae (waqar_uae) 2012-05-23 12:33:49 +0500 #98

Yes I do see lots of jobs for KSA but they are either limited to Engineers or Labors,

@ ALL

Can anyone please tell me which Gulf Country has the highest employment rate/most jobs in the field of "Commerce"

Actual fee of azad visa is very low but only a person registered as kafil can give you one so they charge what ever they feel like ... generally it costs 2-3 lacs for a 2 years contract of azad visa ... as per saudi rules for any changes in your visa status you'll have to apply from your own country .... meaning you might get a job offer on umra visa and you might strike a deal with a kafil but to get the visa you'll come back and then the processing is too slow like 3 months or more ....

best way is to get an azad visa before going there ... go there rent a room search for job ... generally you'll find one and then continue or if you don't get one say godbye to what ever you've spent so far

another issue some people face is the status of visa not matching with job .. like you are in contract with a kafil on visa but doing job with some other firm so the firm doesn't take you on its strenght unless thhey sponsor your visa and for that you have to come back to pakistan and wait till the process is over ... the medical benefits and your experience count also gets effected in this case

this is why lesser people opt for saudia and they have more jobs

my advise : go there ... get a job and stick to it with time your hurdles will get settled

yes if for some reason company thinks you are an asset you'll face no issue or if some friend or relative helps you out there again lesser problems

Now iam confused should i go for UAE or KSA the things that are bothering me are that in KSA there are lot of employment opportunities and cost of living is very cheap and on the other hand in UAE its vice versa but in KSA there are almost new law and policies changing every time for expacts regarding visa renewal and stuff and in UAE it is more stable in terms of policies regard visa rules. though i have acquittance in both countries but still confused.
Can any pakwheeler help me in this matter, will appreciate it a lot....
