Business visa KSA
Hi
I'm a British national, came to KSA 74 days ago (business visa, multiple entries).
any idea how long I'm allowed to stay? as its not clearly mentioned in the visa stamp.

Re: Business visa KSA
Mine says the following on it :-
Number of Entries: Multiple Duration of Stay: 30 Days
This means that I can enter as many times as I want for the visa duration but the maximum time I can remain for on any one visit is 30 days. Not an issue for me as my family are in Bahrain so I travel there each weekend.

If it's anything like the one I get the visa should have a maximum visit duration (usually 14 or 30 days) and be valid for 90 or 180 days. In effect the validity date is the date you can last enter the country so with carefull planning you could extend this to 90 + 29 (for a 90 + 30 say if you come in on day 89)
If you have stayed 74 days solid on a business visa you may be in trouble assuming there's a maximum visit duration which there always is on mine 15 or 30 days.

Yes, you may be in major trouble if you overstayed the maximum visit period.
A colleague of mine went over, was kept in Saudi a further 6-7 weeks, deported and not allowed back (although not told this until he was detained at immigration, locked up, and put on the first flight out).
