Hi all,
I'm starting a new thread here for those who have received their visa les and now going through the visa application process at their respective Saudi embassies in their country of origin.
I received my visa le last week and applied my visa at the Saudi Embassy in Kuala Lumpur. However, there is now a new ruling where the embassy requires a document known as e-wakala or power of attorney letter. It is basically an authorisation letter to be issued by Aramco to the local visa agent, authorising the latter to apply for my visa.
This is the only obstacle left before my passport can be stamped with the visa.
The agent and I have alerted AOC London on this matter and they said the e-wakala will be issued by HQ in Dhahran.
Has anyone experienced this before? I suspect it applies to certain Saudi embassies in certain countries only which obviously now includes Malaysia.
If so, how long does it normally take for Aramco to issue the e-wakala? Surely it can't be that long, right? Obviously, the ball is in Aramco's court now.
