Help on saudi visa issue

faisi

Hi Respected Members,

I have a few queries regarding my saudi working visit visa for which i need you help pls...
I have a saudi Multiple entry working visit visa, its validity is 90 days and duration of stay is 30 days. I got my visa from the embassy on 04/07/14 as per the Gregorian calender and 07/09/1435 as per the Hijri calender.

Does my visa starts of from the day it got issued as per the above mentioned date or from the date i enter the Kingdom. I entered the Kingdom on 10 Shawaal which is 6th of Aug 2014. I then exited the Kingdom on 3rd Sep 2014, and re entered on 14th of Sep 2014.

I am having a problem calculating the Number of days left in my visa validity due to the Hijri calender dates... will someone pls help me calculate the expiry date of my visa ?

I have heard that you can only apply for a extension in the last week of you visa period, is that true ?

have i got one more month on my visa, meaning can i exit and re-enter the KIngdom and then apply for a extension?

pls help me out on this issue... Thank you

Regards,

There are a few websites that do the calendar translation.  I usually just ask the Saudi guys in my company or the PRO to check it for me.

As far as I know, you have to finish the visa and then apply for a new one. I get 180 days but I always had to apply for a new one when the old one was finished.  You CAN enter on the last day of validity as well before midnight; exit is not a problem.  I had that happen to me once when I messed up the dates and Emirates pointed it out to me but there was no problem.
