Hello everyone!
I'm Jen,Newbie here!

let me ask about the visa (ksa).
I've been working here in Riyadh,as an HSW for almost 2years.I'm ending my contract by April this year.If im going to exit with an Exit-Re-entry visa,and has no plan of coming back,can i still have a chance to visit/work to any country while having a valid visa for Saudi Arabia?
Badly need your answers.
Thank you!
Have a nice day ahead!

Hi Jen. I am Izeldinn. I am new on this forum myself. I have been in Khobar, KSA for a long time. I thought if you terminated your contract you would have exit visa only.

Should be a final exit visa.

If you leave the country on ERE and then do not return back then there will be a ban for you in returning for a period of no less than 2 yrs min and up to 5 yrs.  There are several posts made on this regard in this forum, please search for more appropriate information.

Thank you.Yes i know about the banning here.
what im asking is,what if i'll apply for another visa for another country,will there be a problem?(because i'm still holding a valid visa frm saudi?)

Not at all. KSA visa validity has no link to visa of any other country.

Correction on what TLL said above, it will have an effect if you are applying for visa to any GCC countries. GCC countries ( KSA, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, UAE, Oman) will not allow a work visa for you when you have a valid work visa from any of the other member states.

Hi I’m working in Saudi and got an exit re entry visa. Now, I have a work visa in Qatar. And I wish to go directly from Saudi to Qatar. Can I go there without any difficulties in Saudi airport/ immigration?
