guidelines needed for moving to middle-east - accountingforum - 01-09-2009

Hello Guys
I am a fresh ACCA affiliate from PAKISTAN and shall be thankful if you could inform me about work permit procedure of MIDDLE-EAST states.
I am sure big4 there like ACCA AFFILIATES. My objective is to work at a reputed professional accountancy services firm while earning some money.
I hav heard that to get work permitm you have to be sponsored by your employer. I shall be thankful if you could tell me some procedure other than posting my cv at top gulf jobsites as nobody invited me for an interview or test.
I need info about countries like SAUDI-ARABIA+KUWAIT+QATAR+OMAN+UAE+Yaman+EGYPT+BEHRAIN.
Is there some temporary work permit arrangement whereby you reach there.find some job and get a valid work permit?
Another thing is the changing of KAFIL/employer. I mean suppose i reach there on a plumber/technician work permit, find some job at big4. Now will I be able to get it dont easily as someone mentioned this happening in SAUDI ARABIA.
Can u please send me a list of AGENTS who can arrange a work permit.
Is it possible to reach there on visit visa and find job and get then get work permit?
I shall be thankful if you guys could post the normal recruitment months/ of big4 firms in middle-east. Is it MARCH/SEPTEMBER or JUNE/DECEMBER ?
I am presently in LAHORE.
