behramjee: working visa.
Hi behramjee,
usually if you work for GF they provide to sponsor your VISA.
As soon as you reach BAH Int'l you pass through a dedicated row where they take your employer's letter and scan your fingerprint.
They stamp a temporary VISA on your passport and after few days you have to go to LMRA (Labour Ministry Office) to get your final VISA for 2/3 years renewable.
This should be the new procedure but it's better if some new joiner can confirm you because when I did was completely different.
Enjoy The Kingdom.
