Hi,

Would i have my own entry/exit visas or will i be included on my husbands who is going to work there, or will i just require permission from my husband to fly alone.

Also do you require an exit visa to visit Dubai or Barhain for weekends etc? if not can you fly from Dubai to UK without an exit visa? i.e. for emergency exit if we have a problem like funeral etc in the UK.

Thanks

No exit visas here! You can fly to UK anytime, provided you are not a nationality that requires a visa!

You don't need your husbands permission, unless perhaps you are a muslim and he insists on it!

In Saudi, you will need an exit and re-entry visa of your own, in your own passport.

THe best one to get is a Multiple Exit / Re-Entry ( MER ) , which means you can come in and out of the country as many times as you wish, but these are only valid for 6 months at a time. Once issued, you have to use if for the first time within three months.

Therefore, once you arrive, get an MER - your husbands employer may possibly sort this for you, they do all this for my family. THis does mean that if you do have a domestic emergency, with a valid visa you can leave at short notice, AND come back into the country.

You can get single exit / single entry visa's, but most people I know use the MERs.
