Hi, I called on MOL helpline day before yesterday, They said changing in profession is temporarily closed by MOL and there is no timelines defined when they will open it. My profession is computer technician and my visa was rejected by Istiqdam. I have to change the profession since I am suffering visa issue since last 2 months.. any advice what shall be done?
My issue also same. I am waiting since 2 months, they are saying it's undergoing some changes and service will resume but not giving any approximate time when expected to open.
They are not stopping just pay the fee of SR.1000 to MOI
There is problem now in the system of Ministry of Labor since Sept. 7, 2017 where the company require to have at least 50% saudi employees or based on your company color code if this in yellow color the you will wait to resolve your company to Green. May we expect this month will be resolve according to my company which suffering on this problem. Our iqamas were on hold until to-date.
I also heard the same news.Is it true ? if so what we can do next

No idea brothers, I am also facing same issue. It seems they banned it without any intimation as usual. Let's wait and see if anything will happen good Insha Allah. I am really frustrated the way the rules are being made, suddenly one day link to change profession is disabled by MOl and nobody knows when it will open.
Today my hr said my application is submitted and accepted for change of profession from building carpenter to computer technician but he said by this thursday it will change. I hope it will change. He approached the mol by appointment, first it was rejected and today he took appointment and went again.he said done but i have not seen update in moi,he said it will update on thursday.
Hi Syed,
Are you sure of this? The HR in my company told me that currently it is impossible to change the profession on the iqama due to the freeze. I need to change it because I'm getting rejected from the Istiqdam office because my profession doesn't match my degree from university.
Please do let me know if you were successful in changing it.
Regards,
