Hi everyone

I'd like to know if a possibility exists for me to visit my friends in other GCC countries with a Saudi work Visa and Igama, furthermore can i find work in those countries with the above-mentioned documentation. I get a 2-week leave every 3 months, what happens if i leave Saudi Arabia on an exit and re-entry Visa to go on leave and don't come back, and instead go to Dubai/Abu Dhabi or Qatar to work for another company, will that have any negative connotations on my employment over there?

Yes, you can do that. GCC countries immigration databases are not integrated together.

Going out forever on exit re-entry is quite possible but you won't be allowed to come back to KSA for 2 years in case you wanted so.
