My sponsor informed me that I cannot be able to change my profession to accountant even though if I register my degree in Saudi council. The reason is I'm under the logistics company. He informed that for logistics company it is totally Saudization for all profession despite of percentages. Employer told this rule came two months ago. Can someone help me out from this, as I have a plan to bring my family in iqama by changing profession to accountant.

Plz ask the employer to show this recent change in rulings for Logistics company. These are usually tactics by the employer to delay the iqama switch due to associated costs involved. Plus they have to ensure adequate saudi employee presence in the company for accountant iqama.

@AB0085 he is ready to change my iqama to Accountant, but due to this change he said unable to do. I cross verified with other logistics companies they also told that from Accountant to "customer accounting" this profession changed automatically. And some said they changed from labour to customer accounting profession which doesn't required SOCPA certificate as well.

I'm not sure if this is true. I just wanted to double check here in this forum if someone faced this issue.
