Hi - i am guessing they gave you a labour visa, correct? You can reconfirm that with your employer by simply asking whether you can get your family over permanently on this visa? If no, then its a labour visa.

As such i don't see any macro issues, but opening bank account, owning a car and traveling in and out of The Kingdom might just be a hassle.

All the Best.
