Working on a Business Visa instead of a work permit/iqama?

You're smart to be careful with this 'tax free' business.  They say this regarding being taxed in Saudia--doesn't necessarily apply to your home country.

All I know is that in the USA, if you make over a certain amount (I think it's like $90,000-ish) you have to pay tax in the US.

With the Canadian government it's kind of a grey area.
It's about whether you have severed your "tax residency" (not citizenship), basically in the government's eyes do you look like you plan to return to Canada (i.e. have a house, bank account, dependants back in Canada).  No one thing really determines it.

The other thing to bear in mind is that you won't be able to get a bank account without an iqama. My Husband was here for the first six months on a business visa and we had to do everything in cash, including sending money home.
Your stay in the country would be for 30days then you have to leave the country (most go to Bahrain)to get a stamp on your passport. The other way is that your company may have a way to get your passport stamped as though you had left the country. Sorry if that sounds confusing but it is how it works.

What line of work would you be in?

Whatever you decide, Good luck
