Saudi work visit visa exit-entry via Bahrain causeway by dslal
Does anyone know that Saudi work visit visa exit-entry can be done via Bahrain causeway? (For Australian Passport holders). I have done it once in August 2018, but it seems like the rules have changed and Saudi work visit visa holders are now ...
Got confirmation today that an American colleague crossed into KSA without incident. Again, the US consulate has been working on getting this reversed. Looks like American weight has won the day for us. I hope the Saudis relax on this for everyone ... Read More

I am an American on a biz (visitor) visa that says "flight" and was allowed to leave KSA via the causeway 2 weeks ago, and was told I could drive back in but only because I'm American. I'm due a visa run soon and will encourage my ... Read More

Just how different are Jeddah & the Eastern coast? by against me!
So I'm an American currently residing in Qatar, but I might move to Al-Khobar or Jeddah. I've never been to KSA, but I keep hearing that Eastern Saudi and Jeddah would be somehow more liberal and relaxed than the rest of the country. So to ...
Also, I should point out that it's very probable that the things I hear about Jeddah are confined to compounds, embassies/consulates and private estates/beaches. *shrug* Read More

moving to saudi - packing by Leannekyle0310
Hi All, I'm due to move over to Saudi in a few weeks. I was just wondering what clothes to bring. I'm unsure if theirs any point in bringing any dressy clothing etc? What did other women take over? Thanks
I brought lots of clothing. I wasn't sure whether that was a good idea or not, but because of the ubiquitous abaya, many ladies WANT to dress to the nines when they don't have to wear it. The girls in my school have issues conforming to the ... Read More
