@ Dawief2604,

You have to visit your preferred Remittance Center like Western Union (Al Rajhi, Al Bilal) near your place, they can help you as far as I know newly arrived workers they can send money. You need to take your Passports with you. If you are legitimate worker, there is a Border Number stamped in your passport upon your arrival they will take it as a temporary reference for you.

Hi! Can someone help me? I need to receive money from the Philippines, do you recommend western union as a way of money transfer? And does anyone know minimum remittance amount in western union? How long does it take?

Thank you so much.
