This is the wrong forum you're asking questions in. This topic is pertaining to Saudi resident's visa requirements whilst entering UAE from KSA. Not Otherwise. Nor India is between KSA & UAE, that you'd have to go through while entering UAE. Read More

New Born Baby's passport required VISA stamping? by alappatjoy
Hi, Is new born baby's passport required visa stamping? already took passport and Iqama. so it is necessary to have visa stamping on passport? please advise me.... thanks
There is no 'visa stamping' on the passport of the baby who was born here and have already received the iqama. What happens is that there is an manual 'entry' made on the passport when he is issued an iqama. That 'entry' consists of a: sign, stamp ... Read More

Reasons for not getting a visa at Dubai airport/border: 1. Your iqama validity is less than 3/6 months (3 or 6 is not certain). 2. Your iqama profession is not that of a doctor/engineer/accountant/programmer/analyst etc. i.e. a proper white collar ... Read More

Why would airline risk you taking there on the hope of you getting an on-arrival visa vis-a-vis iqama validity clause, which never is black/white but always in a grey area? Lastly, one way ticket (RUH-DXB) is not more than US$200, which would be ... Read More

I checked by phoning the UAE border (Sila/Salwa) twice and they said with iqama having a validity of more than 3+ months is not an issue with them in issuing a visa. Eventually, my plans were changed and I went after renewing the iqama. Read More

Hi Kiran, 1. You will definitely need a passport to enter another country! :) 2. Second most import asset to carry would be the iqama itself of appropriate (i.e. white collar job) profession (e.g. Engineer, Doctor, Accountant, Manager etc.) 3. ... Read More

Hello Taj, I checked by calling batha/sila bored twice and found both times that with my profession, they would grant me visa if my iqama expiry is more than 3 months or 90 days. I have heard horror stories of guys returning even within 6 months of ... Read More

Let's say if you're leaving for 2-3 weeks on single e/e? I feel like reading somewhere an upper limit of 25K SR? is it so? would really appreciate prompt answers! It would be an icing on the cake if someone could point the source as well like MOFA ...
Yeah true; it virtually is. I just need a confirmed source i.e. how much is the upper limit in here? even in terms of US$, although you're right it's about 10 grand at max internationally. However, it's the 'Kingdom' we're dealing in. How much do ... Read More

Hello everyone, This is my first post/reply on this focused and very helpful ex-pat community. What my take on this subject is that either you have your passport in KSA or don't, it doesn't matter at all. i.e. even if you have it and you aren't ... Read More
