Hi all. I am thinking if bring my parents and immediate to Riyadh on a Saudi family visit visa which I believe you can extend up to a max of 6 'months. But I want to know if parents or family have to stay in kingdom during this time or if they are allowed to exit for say a weekend to Dubai or Bahrain and then come back ?

Agree, once they went out of KSA, they can't go back. They have to back to Phils from Dubai

Thank for the reply but my Mrs is from England so I assume same rules for British right. I know Canadians used to get multi entry family visa as it stated that in their website but guess us brits don't get that special treatment :)
