Hi everyone... please answer my question as I m quite confused about the validity of my one year multiple re entry visa.
So I got my visa on 16th oct 2019.
I travelled to saudia on 28th oct 2019 my visa was up to 26th Jan 2020 but my husband extended it further 90 days now my visa is up to 25th April 2020.
Now I have to do exit before 25th April 2020
I m planning to go Pak for 4 months and do re entry in sept 2020.
My question is :
1. I will re enter saudi in sept 2020 so I can again live here for 3 months and further extend it and live total 6 months?
2. Or my visa will expire on 27th oct 2020 since I entered the kingdom on 28th oct 2019??

Aslam o alykum,

One year multiple visa condition are here;
365 Days Visa valid
after 90 days must go exit to any country and can come back, this procedure will repeat every after 90 days.
There is no extend as you mention if it's One year Multiple visa, Extend only in case if you have 90 days visa but not multiple.
If your visa is valid for one year upto 27th , then in system it will over your visa will finish as it's one year completed, so no chance to enter after due date.
If you still confused, you may inbox me for chat to give you further advice.

I just want to correct your answer based on what I know: with multiple visa, actually (yes she can extend).   she did extend it from what I understood, and I did extend my daughter's visa to stay 180 days rather than 90 days without having to leave in 90 days.
