How to EXTEND MULTIPLE ENTRY FAMILY VISIT VISA one year (365 days)

Visa not required but airline in saudi may not let you board without one. You will have to convince them and usually it works.

thank you for information, 

one question

Is it possible to exit / go by air to Bahrain airport without visa and return back same time without going outside of the Airport????? or still required visa for that.

many thanks in advance.

Unless you are transiting from Bahrain airport they will not issue boarding pass if your final destination is Bahrain and you don't have visa.

Are you sure?
And you have any experience like that in past please.

many thanks in advance.

Already told you. If you ticket Riyadh to Riyadh with transit in bahrain, you have a chance to get in plane but it is not 100%. Some people have been turned back and others allowed after lots of convincing.

But if you ticket Riyadh Bahrain and then Bahrain Riyadh separately, you won't be allowed to board

I meant it is most unlikely to visit Bahrain airport without visa, i read in forums they don't allow to retun back without clearing immigration, that means visa is required.

Incorrect - I clarified it before on the forums in the past.  Once you land at Bahrain, there is a sign for transfers right next to immigration.  If you go through that and security, you are back in the duty free area.  Immigration is needed only if you are going out of the airport.

The problem is getting on the plane in Saudi in the first place as the airlines may not let you board at all.   Some people have been able to convince them showing the Riyadh-Bahrain-Riyadh return trip on same day.

Maybe i am wrong but I read somewhere in these forums they are not allowing to transfer directly if you want to return back to riyadh. You know the rules are getting strict day by day.

I think you are confusing between the two points I listed above.

The problem is leaving Saudi.

Bahrain, I have flown through the airport hundreds of times and can tell you for a fact that you don't have to go through immigration.  You don't even have to change terminal as its that small .

please clear this point to

''when i take my family for exit and re-inter in Saudi i mean after 3 months or 6 months''

Rumor says that now it has been changed to 3 months.  But it is not confirmed yet.

thanks brother

On other forums it is almost confirmed that no more extensions are allowed after 3 months, you have to exit and come back. Even two years multiple entry visa option is not available anymore.

Well then maybe it is the case now.  As I said before, I wouldn't be surprised as the extension to 6 months was way too generous and subject to abuse.

The 2 year is still available but it varies from consulate to consulate and nationality to nationality.  Some of them are still stamping it.   A friend of mine with British passport got a 2 year visa stamped a week ago from Bahrain - he is a resident in Bahrain.

My family is on visit visa 2 years multiple. Extended to 180 days by paying 100 SR on Absher.

I am planning to send them back to the home country before 180 days, example 17 Feb is the last date of visa and they travel on 15th Feb. In how many days maximum they should come back? and after coming back will the visa validity be 90 days again?

Please help asap Plz give me some information

They can come back immediately also on same day after exiting ksa, upon entry visa will be valid for 90 days.

Salaam,

Did anyone renew new visit visa after 90 days ?? Is it getting renew or not

Not yet. I m going to try for extension on 2-1-20. Let's see what happens. I will update here

Multiple Entry Visa (New - 365 days) will NOT renew online after 90-days, MUST need to go exit and come back.

I confirmed with Jawazaat personally after failed to get online extension.
Visited Bahrain from causeway, and visa extended for another 90-days.
Also Bahrain rep confirmed me that "Bahrain Visit Visa" is not required for the travelers  (for whose extension is needed) on your Iqama

Thank you for the update.

Can you please confirm the below

1) As you informed ,the person on the visa doesn't need Bahrain visa.Only passport is enough.
2) Is there any time we should be going or we can go and renew it anytime . ( For example ,do we need to go in the last 7 days only of the Visa duration or earlier )

https://youtu.be/TwJaWKBRtyA Check this video he says that visit visa will extend with out going exit.

Can go anytime.

I already took visit visa for bahrain for family, but at the causeway they say that this isn't needed now on wards.

Thank you Sir. Appreciate your info.

what did it NOTIFIED when you tried to extent in online through ABSHER, Not allowed more than 90 days .
please let me know how much you paid for Bahrain visit visa and how you applied.
days required for the process.

AlhamduLillah my mother's visa is renewed for 3 months.
In some cases while processing insurance you may encounter error, details may not be displayed at that point you have to enter the form manually and submit 0 5 6 0 5 8 1 4 4 0

Dear Mr Mohd,

Was the Visa a multiple for 365 days ?

Was it renewed online by paying 100 Sr on Absher ?

Please advise.

You mean visit visa holders can go to Bahrain without bahrain visa if the sponsor is travelling ? did you go to bahrain inside or you did u-turn, please explain detail.

Error  :   "The VV cannot be extended, please contact PP department"

there are agents in Khobar for bahrain visit visa
400 SAR per person
5 working days minimum

Yes, in my case.

Since i was having bahrain visit visa, i went inside bahrain for couple of hours.

going through bahrain causeway....can there be a little bit more clarity on that

1)in your car?
2)you are iqama holder i guess...do u need to put saudi exit reentry visa for yourself or iqama holders dont require it.....@aramis273

Yes in my car through cause way

Obviously, Iqama holder must need exit re-entry visa

yes one year  ENTRY DATE OCTOBER 2 (STAMPING 26 SEPTEMBER)
you have to pay Insurance prior to extending.
AL RAJHI TAKAFUL

For some, the visit visa (new 365 days) will be extended online through Absher......Just Try !

365day Multiple visit visa validity consider from date of stamping or date of first entry?.
Anyone have idea?

Date of entry in KSA...

Guys,

My wife has a visit visa for a year, it has been just 1.5 months and she would like to go out of the country for few days , Much Appreciated if anyone can answer below mentioned questions.

1. Can she go out of the country and come back after a few days keeping in mind that the visa must be extended through absher after 3 months of completion.( in absher visa expiry date 26.02.2020)

2.After 6 months she must leave the country and enter again,now suppose if she exits the country and returns back after 3 months will the visa be extended automatically, or does she have go exit and re- enter the kingdom for renew, and then go out for three months.

Many thanks in advance .
