Hi there

I am currently residing in Dubai, on a resident's visa, i have Saudi visa stamped on my passport, i jus wanted to clarify, if i need anything else, if in case i am visiting KSA for a week..??
the visa has been provided by the company for business purpose, which i have not used till now, but i am planning to make a personal trip to meet my friends and relatives in Dammam. Hope that shouldn't be a problem. Please advise.

Thanks,
Mujahid

Dear Mujahid,

What kind of saudi visa do you have on your passport? Is it a single entry or multiple entry? take care, the visa is only valid for 3 months from date of issuance.

In case you have Dubai resident ID, you can apply for a visa easily in Dubai, specially you are going to Dammam and not to Mecca.

Dear Swellam

Thanks for your reply, the visa i have is a multiple entry visa, with a validity of 3 months and a duration of 1 month.

Ok cool, just make sure it is not expired. In this case you can enter the kingdom no problem
