Status? | |
|

The contracts are for single personnel.
Exceptions are never made for teachers or trainers since they can be moved several
times within their contract period. A CTS or MTS employee may be allowed to bring his wife
at his expense. He would receive an allowance for food and housing and cannot stay in
our housing facilities. It usually takes several months to process her visa after you
establish residency in Saudi and is less complicated if you have a College Degree.
