Can KSA business visa get rejected without an appointment? My company told me they applied for me through an agency and showed me they said it’s rejected but i did not have an appointment - is this possible?

Temporary visas, business visas, residency visas across the board are seeing rejections (temp visas moreso). For the whole year it has been a challenge. What started as a 14 nation issue is now across the board - Even US/EU passport holders have been ditched at times during renewals or for multi entry visas.

No one knows whats up. Just hard in general.
