Hello,

I'm still getting conflicting answers with regards to visa time frames.

I have been told that when I'm issued a working visa in the UK for Saudi, I have 90 days to get into Saudi. Is this correct?

My other question is, once I'm in Saudi, how long do I have to get the iqama? Or is it 90 days for the whole process to get into the country and get the iqama?

TIA
