After entry

I have the same question. How did it work out for you?

After stamping, it is valid upto 90 days

The confusion here is between visa validity and days of stay.  Visa validity for a 90 day visa is after stamping whereas days of stay count after entry.

Yes, can you clarify. My husband has had his visit visa for ksa stamped in August. But he won't be able to travel within the 90 days, is the visa still valid after that since it's a 365 days visa or he should enter within the 1st 3 months itself.

I am asking for a sincere opinion to know if my daughter who is on a one-year visit visa to KSA. usually, there was an extension after every 3 months but this time after the completion of 9 months the JAWAZAT refused to extend it online.  So she must leave the Kingdom and return.

Is it possible to go by King Fahad Causeway (going towards Bahrain) EXIT from KSA and without entering to Bahrain come back and ENTER to KSA? as she has no Saudi IQama so need a Bahrain visa and it is difficult now.

Did someone try it? allowed or not.

Very good
How's that even practical?
For entering in any country you need a visa.
And for returning back, you should have exit stamp from a country.
So, in your case you will need visas for both countries and you cannot come back to KSA without having an exit stamp from Bahrain.

Saudi immigration won't let her exit without a Bahrain visa.   Even if she manages to exit, to enter back into Saudi, she would need to show a PCR test done in Bahrain.  In addition, ONLY vaccinated people are allowed to travel via the causeway (Excl. Saudi citizens who are under 18). 

This U-turn thing was stopped even before Covid (use search - many people in the forum tried it this way back then and were refused) and after that, it became even more of a problem

For a one year multiple entry visit visa is there a rule the passenger has to enter ksa within 90 days? It'd be very helpful to know.

Mr. Zubair is rightly worried about his daughter. I would be worried too. My daughter is missing in India since almost 4 yrs. Govt doing nothing to trace her and reunite my daughter with me.

Mr. Zubair,

Pls make sure your daughter is safe with you and go along with your daughter, if necessary. Sending them alone could create lots of issues afterwards.

Hopefully I got it right with my cultural understandings.
