This is really Bad news for Expats

The segment they have kept intact is the majority I guess: Employees and dependents going on short (2 months max) trips.

With a levied fees of 3000 SAR for 6 months multiple entry visitors, I hope they'll at least open options for uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters also,

Many will not be happy specially those having family/parents or children studying abroad. This will also affect those investors or business men mostly living in Dubai/Bahrain and have business or work in KSA.
