Please tell me how can I stop my pension

Hi everyone, I’m a Pakistani passport holder living in the UK and travelling to Saudi for Umrah.
I’m planning to get a visa on arrival based on my UK status.
Has anyone done this recently? What do you show at London airport when the airline asks for your Saudi visa before boarding? Do you just show your valid UK visa/residence and tell them you’re eligible for visa on arrival?
Any first-hand experience would be appreciated. Thanks!

I’ve spent years studying and trading financial markets, and I’ve recently started building a financial education business around what I’ve learned.
One thing genuinely bothers me about the industry.
A huge amount of retail trading content is built around the idea that markets are a fast route to money: screenshots of profits, luxury lifestyles, broker sponsorships and constant promises of the next big trade.
I think that creates completely unrealistic expectations.
My own approach is much more boring: understand businesses, understand the market, manage risk and let good decisions compound over time.
For context, my stock positions over the last six months have produced a combined return of 400%+. I’m aware that sounds ridiculous, which is exactly why I’m interested in having the performance and methodology challenged rather than simply asking people to believe me.
I’m trying to build something around financial education rather than becoming another social-media trading personality.
The bigger ambition is to work with universities and eventually institutions to provide people with a much more realistic understanding of investing and markets.
I’d also like to keep the number of people I teach relatively limited. I’d rather work deeply with a smaller group of serious people than sell thousands of people a generic course.
So I’m curious:
If you were building a credible financial education company from scratch, what would you do to establish trust and credibility?
Would you focus on independently verified performance, university partnerships, research/content, institutional partnerships, or something else?
I’m genuinely looking for criticism here — especially from people who work in finance, academia, asset management or financial education.
