Sponsorship transfer dispute in Saudi Arabia

How we help with sponsorship transfer dispute

• Evidence and document review

  Our review covers current and proposed contracts, permit details, transfer application, refusal notice and relevant employment-status records. We identify what supports your position and what needs clarification or further evidence.

• Can three unpaid months support transfer without the current employer’s consent?

  The implementing regulations permit ministerial or delegated approval where three consecutive months remain unpaid, or payment is delayed beyond the third month’s due date, provided the worker did not cause or contribute to the delay. The worker must apply within one Hijri year from that third due date. This is a conditional approval route, not automatic transfer; the receiving establishment must also qualify. Identify the current employment status, proposed employer, application stage and written reason for refusal. Distinguish employer disagreement from an authority's restriction or a missing record. Do not assume an accepted job offer completes the transfer or work authorisation.
