Hi All,

Hope you're all having a good weekend.

I'm leaving a job here in Jeddah, and I've been issued my Final Exit Visa (three days ago).

The thing is my employers are in a hurry to send me back. They have already reserved a ticket for the 1st of March. However, due to the short notice I did not complete packing my stuff and relocating my items. I would need a minimum of two weeks to be able to do this - I heard that I legally have 2 months (or 60 days) to stay in the Kingdom after the issuance of my final visa.

I am trying to extend this time with my employers...however, should this be unsuccessful, would I be in legal trouble if I didn't leave and left 2 weeks later.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Best,
Basbousa Girl

You won't be in any legal trouble till (as you know) 60 days are over.
