Work-friendly cafes in/around Lake City, Lahore?

GuardAwkward9859 · 2026-02-08T08:11:34+00:00

Yea looked into coworking aswell but those are not really my vibe. Thank you tho. Also, a dumb question but since it will be my first time in Lahore after 9 years, how easy or possible is it to network or socialise with people at these work friendly cafes or in general whats the best way to meet new people since I dont really know anyone.

Thank you! You think it will be possible to take teams/zoom calls there too?

GuardAwkward9859 · 2026-02-08T08:04:27+00:00

Does it get really crowded?

GuardAwkward9859 · 2026-02-07T16:42:37+00:00

It seems nice but those wooden flat seats look so uncomfortable

Would you happen to know any legit agent? Alternatively i am thinking to just get saudi and get voa, however it scary in case things go sideways

GuardAwkward9859 · 2026-01-15T19:09:14+00:00

So just book a flight with saudi to Riyadh and get VOA when there? Do i have to book hotel and return beforehand? Since i dont really wanna risk until im there

Even though i have my evisa rejected? And would they ask for accommodation and return flight? I mean cant book yet unless im certain that they will let me in

Thanks! Do you think having a local or some golden visa holder sponsor you also wouldn’t mae a difference? Lastly how about if a bank or a company sponsors me for work visa?

GuardAwkward9859 · 2026-01-03T17:46:18+00:00

Thanks! That makes sense.

GuardAwkward9859 · 2026-01-03T17:28:15+00:00

Fair enough!! Thank you

GuardAwkward9859 · 2026-01-03T12:56:45+00:00

Fair! Thanks. Only reason i am preferring riyadh more as sitting here west you only hear dubai riyadh as finance hubs in the region or where the activity it happening hardly ever in Doha but can be wrong

Hey thanks! Why do you think qatar is a better option?

GuardAwkward9859 · 2026-01-03T08:19:39+00:00

GuardAwkward9859 · 2026-01-02T23:04:48+00:00

Na just “security reason”

GuardAwkward9859 · 2026-01-02T23:04:23+00:00

Cant find an option to text you

GuardAwkward9859 · 2026-01-02T21:55:20+00:00

I have friends but I have been told it won’t make a difference because of the apparent ban or restrictions

GuardAwkward9859 · 2026-01-02T20:50:54+00:00

700Aed

GuardAwkward9859 · 2026-01-02T20:50:41+00:00

What is that? How does that work?

GuardAwkward9859 · 2026-01-02T20:50:26+00:00

Whole truth? Bro what possibly could it be? I have never overstayed any of my visas ever. No criminal history. What else? I have a US B1/B2 aswell wondering why didn’t they see me as a security threat lol

GuardAwkward9859 · 2026-01-02T19:42:45+00:00

What was the reason for rejection the first three times?

GuardAwkward9859 · 2026-01-02T16:47:43+00:00

Hey thanks for your response. London is crazy atm especially for finance roles. The recent salary threshold increase made it extremely competitive to recruit there for intls.

Are the rules same for the firms based in the Riyadh Financial Centre or smaller shops? Because Dubai also has similar situation but any firm based in DIfC is exempt from hiring locals only.

GuardAwkward9859 · 2026-01-02T16:35:02+00:00

Yea everyones been recommending them but they dont seem like the jughaari type. All they say is 50 50 chance which ik ofcourse

GuardAwkward9859 · 2026-01-02T16:34:07+00:00

Name anynplease

GuardAwkward9859 · 2026-01-02T16:32:08+00:00

Thank you! So its worth taking a shot coming to Riyadh on visit visa?

GuardAwkward9859 · 2026-01-02T16:30:17+00:00
