There is no such thing called 'work visit visa'

The only visit visa is 'business visa' and it is illegal to work on it. If caught there is jail time / fines and deportation.

KSA is very strictly enforcing the immigration laws, and any violator will be punished.

The ONLY work visa is called Iqama, ask employer to send that.

He's asking about transferring money not about visas.

You can transfer money via western union  -

Hahaha, I have seen numerous post of his, I think it's difficult for him to hold his horses !!

Anyways to the OP, as mentioned you can use Western union and also you can get the money transferred through some of your friend who will be an Iqama holder, but logically this practice won't be good if done regularly !!

1. Working on any 'visit' visa is illegal

2. For any remittance you need Iqama, visit or business visa holder cannot transfer money Western Union or otherwise

If I have offended both of you in any way, I ask forgiveness as it wasnt my intention, but please learn to respect other peoples opinion even if we dont agree.

You keep insisting its ok to work on business visa in KSA because 'many people do it', what I stated was that its not legal to work on a business visa

Bro you have been mistaken, I Exactly know what he means to say.

must read it would help you somehow  :)

Dear Dhaush
No Issue, Visit visa is usually valid for travel for 3 months after stamping, Once Stamped the visitor must travel within 3 months. you can send the money thru the Western Union Money Transfer Service. Non-Saudi Arabian citizens must present a Passport or Residency Card (IQAMA). present a copy of a valid Passport stamped /attested by your sponsor for sending or paying Money Transfers. Other then that try to make friends who would be able to help you sending money with there own personal bank account.  :top:

Ask your Employer he will arrange for you ! when you come on Visit Visa and Work this are things things you need to finalize with your employer. Usually Employers take responsibility for this.
If you dont have any friend who can do it for you then only your employer can help.
