Hi everyone. Is there anyone who is also waiting for the visa block (UK route)? I wonder whether you have a better idea on the timing of the coming block. Cheers.

The visa block works in mysterious ways, and to its own timescale.
Tomorrow, next week, next month - no one other than the Saudi officials knows the timing of any visa block.

I was told few weeks ago that Aramco had some issues with all visa block which causes delays now. Luckily my visa block was issued before that but I wanted to rearrange to my residence country instead of home country hwere it was allocated. They couldn't do it due to current problems so I went to my home country to get a visa.

What does the Visa block mean? Does it mean you could be rejected? The government needs to issue a visa before Aramco can bring you into the kingdom. Aramco requests blocks of visas instead of individual visas. The time it takes to issue those blocks can take weeks or months. |

I am currently awaiting for visa block, almost a month already. My RA told me that there is a system error at Saudi gov side. I believe the error has been since end of May 2023 already.

I wonder if visa block is the same as visa le. Anyways, I am from Canada and my tentative date to join Aramco is July 31st. Background and medical are both clear; however, the relocation advisor has informed that there are delays from the SA ministry of foreign affairs to get visa le. There are some issues that are being resolved and I will hear back soon. No updates yet!
Waiting is so painful lol...

Learn the skill of waiting, it will serve you well |

Hi all,
I have been waiting on getting the final approval from the Saudi, All the other contingencies as per RA are completed. I am from Canada. Is this the same as visa issue dissued here? I have already sent my passport to RA around two weeks ago. I was supposed to fly on July 31st i.e today but then delayed. How long does the final Saudi clearance takes?
Thanks,
