Thank you so much

i find one way to do this my dear ..... and there is more i guess

you have to talk to one office * agency *  for * astktam = Visa * tell them what you want . then your office or the agency will apply you as DH * houseworker* then you transfer kafala to your husband and then you can transfer kafala once again to any company.

there is more but still don't know if you need help with it i might ask some agency and do the request for you.

good luck

or you have to move to ministry of foreign affairs and thats i guess the new rule , go with ur husband over there they might do it or find a way for you .

There is no official way in normal process to convert a visit visa to a permanent visa / Iqama.  You have to leave and come back on the family / permanent visa.

Hi No Visit Visa can be converted to any kind of residency in Saudi Arabia. They need to go back to the home/residence country and need to complete the formalities from there.

I'm in the process of converting my children’s visit visas to Iqamas, and I need assistance with the letter format for submission to the Chamber of Commerce.
