Hi Rahul Rajan,

I have not come across a 3rd party visa before.If you are planning on working in Saudi Arabia, you will need to apply for w Work Visa or Iqama.Your employer acts as your sponsor when applying for this type of visa, therefore

it is very important that you make sure you are happy with the job offer before proceeding. It is very difficult to change jobs once you have been granted the work visa because the employer has control over your permit and are often unlikely to let you leave the company when they have sponsored you.

For more detailed information visit the Visas for Saudi Arabia page.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for the reply.i discussed with previous workers in the company.they tell that u can change your profession after arriving saudi. Company recruited all the people like that.also,while recruiting through 3rd party visa,the company is paying almost 3 lakh rupees over per person.so company have the responsibility over that person...

Hi there had a question. I worked in Saudi and had an iqama from a local company about 10 years ago. If I apply for a new job do I need a release form that company still? Regards Rog
