The Harsh Reality Behind the Dream: Rashid’s Struggle in Saudi Arabia

PoriPurno News Desk | August 11, 2025

Rashid was a simple village boy of just 24 years. Despite his intelligence and talent, poverty forced him to leave college and work at the local fish market to support his family.

One day, a man came to the village shop and said,
“Brother, there’s a great company in Saudi Arabia. Good salary, free accommodation and food. If you want a visa now, it will only cost 400,000 BDT, and you’ll get the job.”

Rashid’s eyes filled with hope and dreams of money. In his heart, he thought, “I’ll repay the cost in six months. In two years, I’ll save enough to start my own business.”

He convinced his parents and mortgaged their farmland. He took loans with interest. Someone even sold a cow to raise money for his visa. A visa and a dream—everything was ready.


Arrival in Saudi Arabia: The Harsh Truth

Upon arrival, they were taken to a camp. Twenty people crammed into one room with torn mats to sleep on. Food was spoiled and there was no work.

Rashid quickly realized the harsh reality: the company was fake, the employer nonexistent. The sponsor told them,
“Find work yourself; I don’t know anything. If you want to change sponsors, you must pay 7,000 Riyal more.”

Rashid kept quiet, overwhelmed. After months of suffering, he found construction work—starting at 5 a.m. and working until 7 p.m. under 45-degree heat. The salary was 1,200 Riyal, paid only once every three months.

One day his mother called,
“Your loan installment is overdue… the interest is growing, son.”

Rashid’s heart trembled. He remembered the man who had arranged the visa—now unreachable by phone.


Return and Reflection

After two years, Rashid returned home with only 3,000 BDT in his pocket, exhausted and sweaty. The village was silent, with people thinking, “He went to Saudi but brought nothing back.”

Rashid knew his mistake was not the journey or his determination, but blindly trusting unverified promises and placing all hopes on a visa bought with a fortune.

Final Words of Advice

“A visa is one thing; reality is another.”

Before going to Saudi Arabia or any other country, it is essential to verify the company’s actual existence, the nature of the job, contracts, and sponsor details.

Spending 400,000 to 500,000 BDT only to fall victim to fraud is tragic. Instead, investing that money in a small local business can be much safer and dignified.
