Re: Your 30 days are up, get out. Where to go?

I'm a consultant. And the 90-days has been confirmed and over-confirmed.

Believe me, I had my heart set on a get-out-every-30-days situation, all expenses paid of course. All the other consultants...

Re: Your 30 days are up, get out. Where to go?

Well, the KSA visa finally came. 90 days. Apparently I am not required to leave the country every 30 days.

Big, huge, freakin' :(
