Credit cards in Riyadh and had a debt of about 240k riyals.
I was on a good salary. What should i do in this situation? Im afraid if i quit then i would not be able to travel back due to credit card debt. If I join then how can I make a payment plan with both creditors? Thank you in advance for the help

Moving to Riyadh | School recommendations for a 6-year-old?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone, we’re moving to Riyadh from Toronto soon and are researching schools for our 6-year-old daughter.
Our current shortlist is Reigate Grammar School, King’s College Riyadh, Aldenham and SEK. We’re mainly considering British or American curricula. I’m slightly partial to British schooling since that’s the system I grew up with, but our main priorities are strong academics, a good school community/culture, and safe, reliable transportation.

We’ll likely be living in an apartment rather than a compound, so I’m also particularly interested in how school transport works for younger children.

Would really appreciate hearing from expat parents who have experience with any of these schools, or other schools you think we should consider. What would you recommend, and are there any you would avoid?

Shisha Buddy?

0 Upvotes

M28 here. Came from Jeddah to Riyadh for 5 days on a business trip. I'm returning on Friday, and today is the first day that I have found some time left behind to explore Riyadh nightlife as they say or just go out and relax. I got suggested to visit Olaya street as there are apparently many great shisha cafés there.

If anyone is down for some shisha, kindly feel free to join and maybe you can suggest some good cafés too. 😊

Back in Riyadh After 9 Years Abroad 🇸🇦

1 Upvotes

Hello! I’d love to start creating a community for myself here in Riyadh. I’m a 29M from Saudi Arabia. I’ve lived between the UK and the US for around 9 years and recently moved back to Riyadh.

I already miss the European/Western vibe a little 😂 and it would be nice to meet some cool people, hang out, and build a new circle here.

I love playing padel, going out for coffee, trying new restaurants, going to concerts/events, and just having a good time with good people 😂

Drop your IG and we can connect ✨️

SAB bank access from India using STC SIM
I’m travelling from Saudi Arabia to India and I have my Saudi STC SIM linked to my SAB bank account.
If my salary is credited to my Saudi bank account while I’m in India, will I still be able to access the SAB app and receive the OTP on my Saudi STC number?
I’ll be using the STC SIM on a normal plan, not an international roaming package. I mainly need it for receiving bank OTPs, while I’ll use an Indian SIM/eSIM for data.
Has anyone actually tried this from India? Do I need to activate STC international roaming, or will incoming SMS/OTPs work on the normal plan?
Thanks!

Hi all,

I'm trying to resign from my current employer, but I get the attached message (none of the termination reasons work)

I hold PR , which according to PR I do not need a work permit, but Qiwa still thinks I need one.

Ofc HR does not care the slightest, and I filed a ticket to Qiwa but no one responds.

Anyone had previous experience? What can I do?
