I am on a Bussiness visa in Riyadh Single entry Valid for 90 days and stay limit is 30 days.
Before my 30 days were completed the company here extended it for another 30 days without me exiting the country.
It is saying that it can re-extend it in the same manner.
Please help me out here, is it possible to re-extend it?

If you arrived in KSA on a single- entry visa valid for 90 days, you need to exit before the 90th day.

If visa has been extended before the expiry term, a maximum period of extension given by government is another 30 days more and you have to exit before the expiry of that period. NO MORE EXTENSIONS after that.

I've learned this from HRGuru's answer to one of the members who has the same query. Hope this helps

@conniesky : the visa can be extended twice after first arrival making the total stay to be 90 or less. So if the visa has been extended once, it can be done once more . This due to the fact that its single entry. However my previous answer could be in the case where the visa type was multiple entry and in such cases, the multiple nature would be lost and the extension possible only to last the actual duration 30 + another 30 days.

Hope this is clear.

Yes, since you came on single entry 90 day visa, you can renew this two times more for similar periods.

Technically, yes, the visa can be renewed 2 more times after first arrival. However they reject renewal requests during Ramdan and hajj seasons. So 270 may be very far fetched.
