Of the above eight occupations, foreign workers will no longer be allowed to be recruited. When recruiting workers, it is necessary to give an accurate description of which posts are being filled. Only companies are allowed to change jobs through the Qiva platform. Individual sponsors cannot change jobs through this platform.
Usually a change of job requires a worker’s permission and a fee of 2,000 riyals. The above eight posts were excluded from it. But the fee waiver is only for first time job changes.
