Thank you so much! I am so glad it helped. It was one of my first videos on YT. I hope that, on my next trip to KSA, I can maybe chat with more people there (on video). Thanks again for your support!
you said for the compounds that are on the luxurious side you mentioned 80k a year but you said usd did you mean sar instead? another question if you're working for a foreign company that has an office in KSA and you're an expat ... how does taxation work in your home country say like the UK, US or Canada ?
For me, the KEY issue not about how much money they spend, but rather how the KSA government operates. It needs to make travel easier and open up visa-free travel to the EU, USA etc. As a (non-EU) Brit, I can pretty-much go visa-free, but I still found their government websites difficult to deal with. I heard that many Chinese tourists are now travelling to KSA. I may add a video about this in the future. Of course, I think having nice hotels is crucial too - which I know if something they're working on.
Very Informative video Jon. I am an Indian who recently got a job offer to work in Saudi Arabia. I am getting the same package as what I am getting in India but on top of that they are giving me 5800 riyal per month for my Rent/food/travel expenses. So is it worth it to go there for a job?
@rushud5112 Hi. Hard to say but, generally, I'd expect a salary increase. Otherwise, the allowances will get eaten up by accommodation and travel costs. Your main benefit will be that the earnings are tax free.
@@rushud5112yes my friend 10-12k riyal a month is very respectable salary and would be an amount that is good enough to look after a family of 4 comfortably
Yes there are .My sister has studied biochemistry in the netherlands has worked in dubai for 7 years and has promoted for job in riyadh .You can earn very good money as a scientist but it depends what branch or company
@@swarnithi hello sister in humanity.My family isnt from saudi arabia.We grew up in Holland( europe) and my sister went to dubai and now saudi arabia because her expertise is needed and another thing is that she works for a western company basd in the two countries.But I dont see reason why you shouldnt ne able to work there.There are indians working in saudi arabia and also females .I advice you to google jobs in saudi arabia and apply to many of them .Another advice ( and I hope you dont take this negative) is not to travel or migrate without a husband OR brother .I have to say this as a muslim and I say this because I care .Peace be with you and I hope you wil find the job you desire

Great video mate. How do you see things going in Saudi over the next 5 ish years? Improving or deteriorating?

How does your iqama get renewed? Do u need to get an updated iqama document every 6 or 12 months?
Are u a working as a non UK resident or visa? Do u get taxed when transferring income to UK account?
I got an offer to work in Riyadh. As a female expat, how about women's and men's interactions in the office? I worry about the rules of segregation.
Have you relocated already to saudi arabia now ??

@@welshmaninasia okay thanks. I just mentioned my rent allowances but in total I will be getting around 10-12k SAR per month. Is it good enough?

Is there a way to check if a company is legit? PS: Planning to come to KSA for the first time
I see your head not covered don't you feel the heat in that court ,me too am in riyadh
@@kawonamonica6280 Hi. I did weat a hat quite a lot. Maybe not so much whilst filming. I was also there in April and didn't find the sun too bad. 🙂
@@welshmaninasia April is good not much hot but June till October is very hot in Riyadh
Very informative video Jon. How is the cybersecurity market in Riyadh? I'm interested in moving from Canada.
I mostly deal with people involved in architecture and construction projects.
I will be living in Rasta Nura with free accomodation and transporation within walking distance. Does my 6k riyals be enough?
Really?
Plenty
How can we connect Jon? I emailed multiple times with no response so far? Still with Archer?
Hi. Taking a break at the moment. Will update Linkedin when things change, probably around September time. Thanks.
Is there scientist jobs for females in Saudi Arabia?
Hi. I usually work with people involved in construction, but I'd guess that KSA is hiring scientists and all kinds of people with niche talents.
@@welshmaninasia Please provide relevant links to look for scientist jobs. Thank you for your response.
Yes there are .My sister has studied biochemistry in the netherlands has worked in dubai for 7 years and has promoted for job in riyadh .You can earn very good money as a scientist but it depends what branch or company
@azadam1000 , how about Indian women solo working in banking industry through contract role? Is manageable?
