I have a job offer as a nanny, starting in February. Living with a Saudi family not on a compound. As I will not be living in a western compound Im worried about how I will be able to meet and Socialise with other expats. How easy is it to meet expats living off compound? Also is there a way of gaining access to a compound to use the facilities? I'm also confused about how an exit visa works, is my sponsor the only person who can give me this? I have seen a reply on another post that the British Embassy can if the sponsor won't give permission.
