Hello all! I am Kierstien (a female) from California, USA, looking to move to Riyadh soon to teach but I have a question about my visa and the visa process.
My potential employer says that I should be applying for a "work visit visa" as it is the easiest and least expensive visa to process and that it will be able to be converted into an iqama once in Saudi. They also have stated that with the working visit visa that it is multiple entry/exit but from what I understand about the visas neither of these statements seem to be true. Can anyone help?
Can I "come and go as I please" without paying extra fees for a new visa each time with a work visit visa? Can I get an iqama once in the country with that type of visa when the work visit visas are supposed to only be good for a maximum of 90 days with a possible extension to 6 months?
Please help as I don't want to be stuck in KSA without the ability to get a bank account and sim card (or all the other things that an iqama allows).
