Hey Joo,

I assume it would be hard for you to find a job with family status.
I suggest you to go through some blogs regarding working in KSA with family status.

Cheese and Peace

Welcome to Riyadh, Jo!

I've been here for the last two months. My only advice is that work on your Iqamas (resident cards) as soon as you stepped into this country. Most likely someone else or an agency, I'm assuming, will file your paperwork but just keep pushing them and pushing from the get go. Many things will be easier after receiving that card. You guys will be living in a compound so that's great.

Welcome to Saudi Arabia!

Welcome to Riyadh, Coolwater! Hope everything is going well for you.

I'm new to here too. Let us know any questions

Hi  Jo.
we moved to Riyad last week. My husband is working also here. I came from Germany. My husband is from England. I am  also looking for a work. We are looking for Compounds too. It is very expensive here. Now we are staying at the hotel. I am so bored without work here. If you are staying in a compounds, there are many british people, you can spend with them time. I am here in the hotel alone, if my husband are going to work. You can work as an English Teacher here.
