QIWA TRANSFER

Post new topic

Gpbcexpat2023

Can I successfully TRANSFER to a NEW EMPLOYER through Qiwa? I have no existing contract both in QIWA and GOSI. I am about to receive a transfer request through a new employer. To those who successfully did, what to expect once I accept the new contract/transfer request from a NEW employer? What is the timeline?


Note: My original written contract is already finished and I already sent a 90-day and 30-day Notice of Non-renewal of Contract to them; My gratuity is not yet released.


Risk factor: Issuance of EXIT VISA from CURRENT EMPLOYER.

@Gpbcexpat2023 Clearly tell your current employer i will not go . Until then, I will not get my final settlement amount. And i have to take the transfer right now. You advise them that if you give me a final exit visa, you will fall into many problems, such as having to pay sudization, having to pay my GOSI, and having to show your salary in mudad. I will not disappear from your company, Absher, unless I leave KSA. So don't worry.

Risk factor: Issuance of EXIT VISA from CURRENT EMPLOYER. -@Gpbcexpat2023

In that situation, visit the Ministry of Labor (MOL) and from there, you can raise a ticket or complaint and request for local transfer of sponsorship to new company/ or new employer. MOL will then create either a 60 to 90 days notice period for your local transfer within which period the current/present employer will be either forced to give you a "transfer" or a "final exit only visa". If current/present employer opted the latter “final exit only visa”, it will notify MOL that your current/present employer no longer want your services anymore. In that instance, MOL grant your request outright, and automatically transfer your visa iqama to new company/ or new employer.

Update as of 12MAY2023:


Employee Transfer Request accepted from new employer.


Status in Qiwa: Pending Completion for Notice Period


Current employer says they will not grant if there is an option, and will issue me final exit visa.


About to complete my service on 15MAY2023. Will wait for the final exit visa thereafter.


Will update post soon.
