Hi, this is my first post on the forum. You guys have been an incredible source of information already so thanks in advance for everything. For the record, I had my interview a short while ago, received a written offer exactly a week later and am checking through all the variables. I am very excited this is happening to me. Even before I did my interview, together with my wife we had decided she will not come to KSA. This may change later on but this is the plan for now. However - and this is the reason for this post - she will want to come visit as often as possible. I have been reading plenty of posts about visas but not about this particular situation. My question: is it possible for her to visit me whenever possible, what kind of visa does she have to obtain (hopefully multiple-entry/exit)? Am I doing this for her through ARAMCO or does she have to do it back home? And: is there a maximum amount of times she can visit eg. in 12 months, or an interval she has to respect? Thanks for all the answers!

Once you have arrived and have your iqama and resident visa you can work on getting your wife a visa. You have to do paperwork on this end (Aramco will assist you) and she will have to do paperwork on her end (Aramco will assist her also - at least for U.S. passport holders that is true).
The visa she gets does depend on what passport you hold. Some visitor visas are for 3 months up to 5 years for U.S. passport holders. The passport can be single entry-exit or multi- entry/exit. You also must know how the visa says she can come into the country: land or air. You set that up on this end and pay the fees for getting the visa.
The visa will state length of stay. Again they can be different, so cannot tell you exactly. Some visitor visas are length of stay 3 months, if it is a multi entry/exit visa, you just go to Bahrain, stay out required days and come back in.
