Hello all,
Some quick questions about Business Visas (multiple entry, 180 days, 60 day stay), if anyone is kind enough to help:
1. Is the 180 day expiry calculated from the date of issue, or from the date of first entry into Saudi?
2. Can you enter on the 179th day and still stay for another 60 days?
3. Is there any official online documentation answering these questions that I can give to my boss?
Many thanks in advance for any help 
Business Visa: Expiry from Issue or Entry?

1- From date of landing
2- Question not applicable.
3- Missing online documentation is a norm here in KSA. I'm not sure where can you find it. Even if it was there, it would be in Arabic with no translation available.

If I may ask one more question: if the expiry is from date of landing, is there a time limit between visa issue and landing in KSA? e.g. you must enter KSA within 30 days of the visa issue (or something like that)?

That must be written on your visa. Usually it's 60 days from visa endorsement date.
