Complications of moving to Saudi outside of marriage

Hi there,

My partner is currently in the process of applying for a job with Saudi Aramco and locating to Jubail but we are not married. I have only been able to find limited information regarding this so i would very much appreciate if anyone could shed any light on the complications and ways of us all living there without being married?
I have also read mixed reviews about living in Jubail and would be very grateful for any views on facilities in jubail and what to expect from a socialising point of view?

Thank you for taking the time to read this post

As far as I know KSA very very very strict when comes to marriage. You will not be able to accompany your BF and stay together without legal marriage certificate.

Correct me if im wrong guys.

You are right @vramakr.

You are absolutely correct!  What could be done, however, if they don't want to marry, is for her to live in Bahrain and him to visit on weekends OR ... for her to also get a job in Jubail with her own sponsor and for him to rent in a western compound and her to live there with him (complicated but possible).

Thanks for your comments, much appreciated. Yes i didnt think it would be possible, just want to find out our options.
Does anyone know what the quality of life is like in jubail in regards to things to do for families?

Hello, my partner and I are in an identical situation. What was the outcome of your situation?
