Dear All,

Please share the information. My current company does not have a block visa available at this moment. So they are giving me work visit visa temporary.

I have few questions with regards to this sort out visa i believed it will be initially for 90 days once the 90 days are finished will it be extended from KSA locally and how long the extension will be allowed? What will be duration of extensions 90 days or less then that.

Thanks,

There is no such thing as a 'work visit visa', its prohibited to work on the visit visa.
Please search images online to verify this.

He means work visa. It's ok to work on that. But it will not be renewed here after 90 days. U need to go back to your country

He probably means iqama visa. Not sure what's other word for it. It's quarter to 2am

Business visa are two types
Work
Not permitted to work

He must be on the "work"

I guess all of you have no information with regard to what i have asked.

When company does not have block visa which helps you to get iqama after arrival in KSA.

A work visit visa is temporary for initial 90 days can be renewed further for another 90 more in KSA.

A business visa is for 90 days but every month you need to exit KSA and re-enter back.
