One Way Ticket to Saudi ? Problems
I have my 90 day visa issued already and copies of all the contract stuff and the Iqama page that the embassy needed . Will it be a problem going to Saudi on a one way ticket . I didn't want to buy a return as I might be going to a different destination next trip out . Has anyone had problems at the airport leaving the UK or on arrival in Saudi ?

When I moved to Saudi in 2001, my emplyer bought the ticket. This was one way. There were no problems.

Ditto , I just don't want to get any grief at the airport . Some places are funny about that kind of stuff.

If you are leaving from Thailand to Saudi, I think there is no problem, but if you are leaving from UK, I wouldn't know...It is best to ask the PRO who is looking after your visa process in Saudi Arabia.

I'm leaving from the UK because I had to come here to process the visa and do the Harley Street medical.

Many times in and out of Saudi, mostly on a one way ticket, but always without problems.

There is no problem flying in on a one way ticket, they are only bothered about the visa.

Saudi is strictly racialist and you will be treated depending on your origin. A one way ticket is no problem if you are a westerner. It may be a problem if you are a Bangladeshi labourer.

I thought that it is required to have return visa!
