I have about 20 days left on my 90 day Tourist Visa which is valid for 12months ( very confusing) As I am

in the UK now I am thinking of applying for the next 90

day visa whilst out of country rather than going over to Bahrain when back..

Does anyone know whether they will grant another e-visa if my current one is still valid until November? Will the

new one just cancel out the old one? ..and does the 12 month validity just mean you have to activate your 90 days within that 12

month period??

Thanks!

As you have taken 12 months Visa it's Validity is 12 months. You cannot stay more than 90 days continiously inside Saudia. Now as you are outside Saudia just book your ticket and get back here again, no need of doing anything if your 12 months visa is still valid.

Thanks Kaby,

someone in a private message has said i can go over the causeway to Bahrain and get it stamped again to generate another 90 days when i need to.. She has done it a few times, so hopefully this is what i can do.

I tried online last night to get a new e-visa and it flagged it that i still have one valid until November so wouldn’t let me do it ..

I hope what this lady was saying is correct other wise i don’t see what other options i have.

@sarahbenn Hi Sarah, could you please update us what happened with your situation? Were you able to leave to come back and generate another 90 days? If not were you able to get another eVisa while the first one was still valid?

Thanks.
