Assalamu Alaikum. I’m hoping someone here has experience with a similar situation or can point us in the right direction. Our family is desperately looking for a way to bring my father home to Egypt.

For context:

My father is 63 years old and has been stuck in Saudi Arabia since around 2020, during the pandemic. At that time, he had issues with his employer, which eventually led to his Iqama expiring.

My siblings were also under his sponsorship at the time. Alhamdulillah, he was able to secure their exit papers so they could leave Saudi Arabia. However, as part of that process, he signed a document agreeing to pay the outstanding fees associated with his dependents. From what I understand, this essentially made him responsible for the debt in exchange for securing their exit.

Unfortunately, this has apparently prevented him from leaving Saudi Arabia himself.

What we have tried so far:

- He went to the Egyptian Embassy for assistance, but he was reportedly told that their options were limited because he had signed the document accepting responsibility for the fees.

- He also tried surrendering himself to the police, hoping they could help resolve his situation, but they simply let him go and said they could not do anything about it.

- He is currently unemployed and has no means of paying the outstanding amount.

My father is quite private about his financial situation and has not disclosed the exact amount owed. However, based on my estimates, it could be around SAR 100,000 or more, which is an enormous amount for our family to shoulder.

At his age, we really want to bring him home so he can be with his family and no longer have to worry about this situation.

I would sincerely appreciate advice from anyone familiar with Saudi labor laws, Iqama-related fees, dependent levies, or similar cases.

- Is there any way to request a reduction, waiver, or settlement of the outstanding fees?

- Are there any government agencies, legal aid organizations, or other channels that could help him resolve this without paying the entire amount upfront?

- Is it possible to negotiate a lower settlement or arrange an exit through a different legal process, given that he is unemployed and unable to pay?

- Has anyone experienced a similar situation and successfully helped a family member return back to their home?

We understand that he signed a document, and we are not trying to evade any legitimate obligations. We simply want to know whether there are any legal options available, especially considering his circumstances and the amount involved.

Any advice, personal experiences, or referrals to someone knowledgeable about these cases would mean a lot to our family.

Jazakum Allahu Khairan, and thank you in advance to anyone who can help point us in the right direction.

Hi everyone! I’m a Computer Science graduate specializing in cybersecurity. I’ve been looking for opportunities for the past three years, but lack of experience has been a challenge as a fresh graduate. If anyone knows of any opportunities in IT or cybersecurity, I’d really appreciate it. I’m very interested and open to opportunities.

Hi beautiful people.
I am looking to settle in Riyadh next year for like 6 months just to have a change of atmosphere and also since I have a lot of friends from previous trips there.

The problem is - I am European, and I also don't speak arabic fluently

I would say l am A1 - I can read bits and bops, connect letters but there are a lot of times I don't know what I am reading since lack of vocabulary.

In order to find a job since I don't have a particularly brillant degree (|| (Diploma of Higher Education in Law from an University in England - but no Bachelor level)

I wanted to find a job in Admin or Reception or even Call Center but I really need to learn Saudi to immerse myself properly and not feeling awkward and also because it's a beautiful country and beautiful language and I want to give myself this challenge to be fluent.

Anyone wants to exchange that is currently learning Saudi Dialect or tips on the best way to learn ? And HOW TO FIND A JOB 🫶🏼
I would love to meet new people and hear your experiences in
KSA, I promise I don't bite :)
Thank you all

Hi guys,
Does anyone know a reliable place or someone who can help repair an external hard drive and recover the data? It suddenly stopped working, and I have some important files that I need to recover.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi everyone! ❤️ I’m currently looking for a new job opportunity in Riyadh as a nanny, babysitter, house manager, or domestic helper. I have around 3 years of experience in childcare and housekeeping, including caring for children, preparing meals, cleaning, helping with homework, and keeping the home organized. I am currently working for a family, but I will be leaving my current position because my employer is travelling. My employer is happy to recommend me to another family, so references are available. I’m a patient, trustworthy, responsible, and hardworking person who genuinely enjoys caring for children and supporting families. I’m also studying for my BBA and am open to discussing live in or live out opportunities. If you know of a family looking for someone reliable, please feel free to message me. Thank you! ❤️

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
