@nagul12345 i have no idea, still no good news, i read that even i move to another company they will not be able to change job profession, it's annoying that they blocked changing. i think if your your iqama is data entry you will not be able to change it. my company they might final exit me and give me new visa. but i'm still looking and trying to look for a way without having to final exit.

@fatoom59 I have the same problem where I have been terminated from my previous company but I got the chance to transfer to another company since my iqama is valid for 7 months. The problem is that, i am not sure if the new employer can renew it or if they can change my profession for at least labor or any that is not under the Saudization.

@fatoom59 I checked with my company recently and even they said that they are NOT able to change ANY profession now.

@abdulhaseeb777 Accountant is under Saudization , so please think before you change the profession, and do check with your company if they can give you this profession.
