Assalamuh alaikhum,
I came in saudi with 3 months visit visa and its gonna expire in two weeks. Can i extend it to 3 more months like as done before ?

aliraza152

Walaikum assalam

Now a days people are facing issue after the implementation of new policy. You can try but I guess you cannot extend it now.

Next time come on one year multiple entry visit visa. It has same price as 3 months visa.

Dear Mr. XTang,
I have two questions as i bring my wife for two years multiple exit re entry visa.
1; before 6 month she need to exit once, for this does she need any paper for exit and re entry. i am paying SAR 100 every month for renew visa.
2; As every month i am renewing the visa, how long she can stay in pakistan? can i still pay and renew her visa while is in pakistan?


Thanks in advance

XTang

1) No
2) As long as she wants. The days of stay reset when she exits. This starts again when she enters. Renewal to extend from 90 to 180 days only applies when she is back in Saudi

Dear i have query regarding family visit visa. How many days it takes by Mofa to issue one year or 2 year visa after submitting application???
I have applied for 1 year visa on 1st october 2019. Got stamped Chamber of commerce on 2nd Oct 2019.

As of today 13 October 2019. Not yet issued....
How many days it takes to process visa by MOFA on average

aliraza152

On average it takes 3 to 5 days.
You can submit another application or wait for 1,2 days more.

If i dont extend the visa on first visit, Is it possible to extend in the second visit from 90 to 180 days?

Mohammed.Gufran

What is the extension process? Do we need to apply for new insurance for family? If yes what is the insurance process?

aliraza152

Yes it is up to if you want extension or not. You can extend in second visit, no problem.
Search it on Google there are already many blogs written on insurance extension process etc.

malikmuhammad

If stay more than one month can we still pay SAR 100 for monthly renewal fee?

Don't be lazy and use the search to avoid asking the same questions again and again.

Hello,

I have heard about a new rule implemented on the 1 year multiple exit re-entry visit visa that, we have to exit and re-enter the kingdom every 3 months instead of 6 months. Is this true? or just another rumor?

aliraza152

Hi,

We also heard the same thing, please wait and see. It will be clear in 1,2 months.

XTang

Yeah so far there are rumors.  What I do know is that this has been targeted for a change for a long long time.   And it is a good measure.  People have been abusing this to live in the Kingdom - you could practically live here for more than 1.5 years on a 2 year visa with the current rules. 

Even in the western countries, stay is limited to a certain number of days in a calendar year e.g. schengen which limits you to 90 days within a 6 month period.  Where it is not limited, if you habitually utilize the full days of the visa on every entry, they ask you questions in immigration as they become suspicious as to whether your purpose is to visit or to stay here.

sdsayeed786

Date of entry 17-Apr-19
Date of expiry 16-Jul-19 (on this date pay 100 SAR again and you will get 90 days validity i.e till 14th Oct 2019).
So your wife can stay till 14-Oct-19 12:00 midnight.

There is "visit visa" for bahrain, you can have from any agent in khobar or dammam
But, when i visited bahrain, the authorities told me that this visit visa is not required anymore for travellers on your Iqama.
They can travel to bahrain without visit visa of bahrain, but with the sponsor (Iqama holder)

Brother can you please give me your number or message me on my whatsapp ***

Friends,
I need little more clarification, kindly help me
I brought my family ( wife and child) on 365 days multi visit visa ( as per new rule , visa fees 300 SAR ). they enter saudi on 3rd Nov 2019 . the 90 days expiring on 1st Feb 2020. on 26th Jan 2020 I renewed there visit visa (by paying 100 SAR + Insurance fees) and after renewing in the absher it shows " the said visit visa is successfully extended and the new date shown as 1st may 2020 ( both for my wife and kid ) . Now my question is that
1. Is there anything to concern
2. Is there anywhere online from where I can reconfirm that the visit visa is successfully extended  i.e there wont be any problem in the future .
  As per my understanding the ABSHER is the final one , still I am asking this because the rules are new which increases my concern
Thanks and sorry for this type of question

Haarib2000

Hi

I have 3 query, could you please answer

I am on multiple entry Business visit visa with 1 year validity.
As I understand I can stay max for 90 days within the country after which I need to exit

1) After 3 months from the date of entry stamp I can exit and enter on the same day without any problem at immigration ? if they ask why I came back on same day, is there anything I need to say specifically to avoid issues ?

2) Can I stay in the country and extend from 90 to 180 days ? If so will it have any effect on me coming back post exiting after 180 days ?

3) Once I exit and reenter after 180 days, can I again extend from 90 to 180 days ? This will complete my 1 year visa validity. Basically what I'm asking is instead of exiting every 3 months to make 4 trips within 1 year, can I do it every 6 months ?

qadeerume

khanops39, I have question for you, if you can answer,

how to get  multiple entry Business visit visa? if you can guide with the procedure that will be helpful. Thankyou

XTang

1)  No issue.  I have done it many times
2) Yes.  No effect
3) Yes
