Visa question by g100f
Hey guys, Sorry to bother you, I normally try to dig through the forum's extensive build-up of information before I post a question, but here I guess I wanted to get your opinion besides asking you a specific question. Here's the deal: I currently ...
Thanks mountaineer8888 and Alliecat! Your input also adds a little more perspective to this rather vague visa issue, and for that I am very thankful. Read More

Thanks for the quick feedback guys. It's much appreciated. The thing is, our company branch in KSA has only been opened for a couple of years and I don't think that it has significant or any power that could somehow influence this process. I agree ... Read More

Mistakes you don't wanna make by MadMaz
I'm not sure if this has been covered already. So, for the benefit of people coming to KSA soon, new arrivals & even us who've been here for sometime, I would like to share with you some thoughts about what I consider mistakes I shouldn't have made ...
Thanks Madmaz for starting such a good thread, and thank you all for confessing your mistakes :) Depending on contributers, this could easily turn into one of the most valuable threads on the whole forum. I am all eyes for the next series of ... Read More
This needs to be said... by MaserMan
This is a great forum but it has been overrun by non expats. I have now got to the point where I am now coming on here less and feel disinclined to enter into conversations that have little or no bearing on living in Riyadh as an expat.
So far it is the best expat forum I've come across with a decent contribution by a range of different people. I am either too lazy to find a better one, or there really isn't such a thing out there :D As regards the forum being overrun by ... Read More
Transport related options by g100f
Could you please share your ideas on the best/smartest steps a newbie expat is to take when it comes to choosing means of transport and ways to acquire/maintain it. I know that there are options for renting, leasing or purchasing a brand new or ...

Thanks so much musicman. I will definitely take your advice into account, especially if I stay longer than a year or two. I heard though that it could be an additional pain trying to sell the car for a decent price as departure time is approaching. ... Read More
Choosing accommodation to fit budget by g100f
Hey there folks! I need your suggestions regarding suitable accommodation in Riyadh for a family of three with a 3-year old kid. First of all, could you please tell me if I can actually expect to find something decent with my company offering me a ...
Thanks a lot musicman. I am definitely hoping to be able to get something that has its own yard/garden so family could spend some time outside the house, even though I am aware of the fact that properties are walled anyway. Are the north suburbs ... Read More

Well, if I ever learn anything about this topic, and provided I am not busy, I will write it down on this forum one day, so the next generations won't have to re-invent the wheel over again :D Read More
