Tourist Visa Saudi Arabia

For a multiple entry visit visa for 1 or 2 years, stay on each entry is 90 days which can be extended by payment to 180 days and then you have to exit.  On the next entry, you again get 90 days.  This continues till the expiry of the visa validity i.e. 1 or 2 years.

However, as far as I know, the validity of the tourist visa is 90 days i.e. the visa itself expires after 90 days.   If it is multiple entry, you can enter and exit as many times as you like within 90 days.  After 90 days, you again apply for a new visa online.

Can you clarify this 100%? Is it mentioned anywhere oficially?

Clarify for what exactly?  Tourist visa or visit visa?

Check on the tourist visa site.  However, be aware that in this part of the world, nothing is mentioned clearly on an official forum and things keep changing quickly.

About the tourist visa, if 90 days are the maximum period one can stay in the country per year, or there's no such restriction, and after the first 90 days you can apply for a second tourist visa.
You're absolutely right about that nothing can be mentioned clearly here, and I'm trying to find information about that for several days. It is not described on the visa issuing sites, I only managed to discuss it with the online support assistants, they said that there's no restriction, and you can apply anytime for the second visa, but when I asked if this information is oficial and if they can show me the oficial statement, they just silenced. So I really don't know what to do, because this issue is very essential for me.

As far as I know and with a big caveat, the initial announcement mentioned max of 90 days in the country.  And this makes sense as this is an un-sponsored visa which is something very new for Saudi.  Even in the rest of the world e.g. schegen, you can only stay 90 days within a 6 month period or max of 180 days a year so this makes sense.

However, going by past history, I think that they will make it 90 days for each visa especially considering the fact that a lot of people applied for it.  We can only wait and see.  Try connecting with the visitsaudi team i.e. the tourist visa help line; they are generally very responsive from what I have heard.
