Dear Badar,
If u r in KSA and planning to resign ur present Co and come back with new Co, I will advise u to take extreme care in that:
1-Make sure that ur New Company is issuing u a Visa for Karachi Counsulate. As far as I know, the ban(without NOC even u comme with proper Exit) was for one year. So please confirm through any agent or directly calling the Counsulate of Karachi.
Dont be misguided that agents by taking money can do some thing out of the way. Dont pay anything to any body.
2-The Islamabad Embassy, till April(as I know) was asking for an NOC or three years ban(even with proper Exit). So I m not in a position to confirm u that whether the ban has been removed or not yet. So if ur new visa is from IBD, again confirm the rule directly from Embassy. Most of the time, some Pakistani Layman employed in Embassy will answer u..
3-The third option ppl were using to change the Passport. I mean if u have same ordinary type passport(not computerized) , then u have to get a new Computerized(which is must for Saudi Visa Stamping) Passport without having old passport reference on that. Another thing is NICOP(ID Card for Oversease Pakistanis). So if u have already that then the new Computerized passport without Old passport reference may also not work.
So just to avoid any hessle, confirm from the Embassy and then take decision.
May Allah bless u... |
