Saudi Visa Question

Hi All,

I got a contract offer from a Saudi University, I accepted the offer and they are now in the process of issuing me the work visa.
Now the question is whether to issue the visa in my name or in the name of the agent company that will handle the visa issuing process for me from the Saudi consulate in London. Which is better and why?

Anybody have any idea?

Thanks

If you are in the UK, you will probably have to go and be fingerprinted, and tell them where your point of entry to KSA will be.

Assuming it's Riyadh, on arrival get in the left hand queue to have the visa activated and be fingerprinted again.

It's quite efficient these days as it used to literally take hours whereas these days it no more than 15 minutes of queuing.

Leaving out isn't quite the same experience though as the airport 'leaves a lot to be desired'.
