We are moving to Riyadh for the first time. I have a job with Prince Sultan University in Riyadh.
My school is telling me that my wife and I should apply for visas at the same time, and travel together. But many of the posts on this site say that I have to go first, get an iqama, and only several months later bring my wife. Can anyone comment on this?

Yea, you need to get Iqama first, unless they are issuing visit/business visa for your wifey too.

No, they seem to make exceptions for teachers of universities. Check on the tasheel site for work visa and/or resident visa. You will see that for this group and ambassadors there are other rules.
