Hi There,

I am willing to bring my family (Wife & Son) to Riyadh.
They have visit visa with 1yr validity. Which was stamped on March 05, 2020. it's not used yet due to on going Covid-19. the said visa will be expiring on March 05, 2021.

Can they travel to Riyadh & stay for 90 days. WI'll their visa can be extended once they enter KSA. please advise.

Thanks
jilani

Hello Jilani,

As long as they enter before the expiry of their visa date written on visa sticker, they will be allowed to stay in country for duration of stay mentioned on the visa. For 1 year visa, it will be probably 90 days, yes.

However, please note there will be no extension. They will only be allowed 90 days from date of entry.

You should book a return ticket for 88 days to be on the safe side as sometimes the immigration people do ask to show return ticket at Riyadh airport.

Unfortunately agent is saying that they cannot travel as it's visit visa. Only permanent visa members can travel he said.
