Resident visa validity in Saudia

Hello..
can anyone tell me if he/she has come across the change in validity of resident visa application...My husband got visa slip one month before  and its written that the visa app is valid only for 30 days during which passport needs to be stamped. but most people are still saying that its valid for 1 year..
my passport was submitted at Etimad on 21st april and application expires today but it still has not reached embassy.
can anyone help me with that???

I highly recommend if you can immediately refer this to your Human Resources to avoid any issues.

read carefully  "visa slip one month before  and its written that the visa app is valid only for 30 days during which passport needs to be stamped." where do you find this messaage?

if its permanent visa then stamping is valid for 1 year and after stamping its valid for 30 days to enter.
