Hi, There is no changes in visit visa process.any body tell me that a women can teach in Saudi on  visit visa
It's strictly illegal to do any work being on a visit visa (even visiting the 2 holy mosques). I recall reading somewhere that the panalty is 10,000 SAR followed by an immediate deportation.
What then is the purpose of the visit visa?
:/
Simple: Just visit and go back; that's what the visit visa is all about.

In fact, people misused the visit visas thing a lot. They started going to Umrah/Hajj (that needed a different kind of visa). They started over-staying. They started looking for jobs. Of course, that's why government has tightednd up things.
oh thanks to inform me plz tell me how can i work in saudia how can i get permenant visa
I always advise the same thing:

1- Look for a job (online, local newspapers, local recruitment offices).
2. Qualify and grab the job; get a work visa and land.
ok . thanks i am coming to riyadh in feb, on visit visa how can i change my visit visa to parmenet visa can i purchase it ,if yes, tell me what's the process.
Visit visas can't be easily changed to permanent ones. Legally it's not possible. However, sometimes people (who can) get a royal family recommendation to do that.
Is it possible to get a MULTIPLE ENTRY VISIT VISA?
Need help with immigration or administrative procedures in Saudi Arabia?
Get in touch with an immigration consultant
Yes, uaually the company who invites you will mention that in their application to MOFA (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) while applying for your visa.
