Hi!
My husband will be going to Jeddah soon and we have some worries abt getting our visas. Firstly, I understand that a multiple entry visa is rather difficult to obtain. So the norm is to be issued with a single entry one. Can anyone offer any advice/help on this?
Secondly, I will be accompanying him but I also heard that my visa will not be processed until my husband has received his visit visa. This seems to mean that I cannot go with him in the meantime. How long do I usually have to wait before I can join him? And, are any problems of any sort encountered for this?
Thirdly, from a visit visa, what would be the average time before a residence/work permit would be issued?
Lastly, some other misc. worries:
(this may sound strange) Am I expected to be in an abaya once I get out of the plane??? Can a woman take a taxi by herself? Or does she need permission from her husband? What about drivers, is being in the car alone with the driver violating any rules?? For cargo arrivals, what is the usual process from cargo touchdown up to the time it arrives in the home? Will my music CDs and books be subject to screening? Any problems with cartoon VCDs? Will they be screened as well and will I have to pay for this?
Would appreciate advice on the above!!!
I would really appreciate reponses on this.
