In a sticky situation..
Hey everyone,
Need some urgent advice, hope you guys can shed some light on this.
I'm travelling to Saudi Arabia with my family on the 3rd of April, and as you may know I require a visa (sent from the booking agent) on my passport in order to travel. And my passport can only be sent off once my brothers one comes back (from renewal)
Now, I've just been told from my employer that I've won a trip to Hong Kong (best salesman yay
), which is from the 10th - 17th March.
So, the issue is that if I send my passport to the Saudi's, there's absolutely no guarantee it will return in time for my trip to Hong Kong.
What could be a possible solution to this?
EDIT: I'm from the UK (UK national)
Thanks in advance guys

I mean, I could get my manager to write a letter but will that work?

You don't mention where you are from, but if there's a Saudi embassy/consulate nearby, you could apply for the visa in person. I did a fairly quick google search and it seems possible for a Saudi visa.

I'm in the UK and only the agent can apply for the visa I believe.

Seems like you could just apply for a single visitor visa on your own, and this problem would go away.
Not personally familiar with Saudi visas so forgive me if I'm wrong!

- Saudi's only issue visa's if women are accompanied with a male over the age of 17. My brother is 16 therefore without my passport with theirs they wouldn't get a visa.
Quite frustrating.

And @Doc Savage:
It's an incentive all employees worked for. The company were just a bit late in letting me know.
Might have to apply for a 2nd passport.
