o everyone,
Since this a good source of first hand information I have a question( not sure if this is the right forum to post). I currently hold KSA visa in my maiden name but I recently renewed my passport and its in my married name. Just wondering, will that be a problem on arrival as I will be carrying 2 passports with different sir names. Do I need to transfer my visa before travel?
If anyone has a similar experience please do share or please advice what is the best course of action.
Thanks,
Robin 1

More than likely since you have the original passport with your maiden name and the visa has been done with it, you will probably not have a problem. I would definitely let your relocation agent know, so they can check officially. Carry a copy of your marriage license and your birth certificate, just in case.
Did your passport number change? Is the passport with your maiden name expired?

Just to reiterate what vpainter said, definitely get that checked out with your relocation agent. They are very strict on names over here, for instance if there is so much as a single letter wrong in your name in any kind of bank transaction, as compared to the name held on file by the bank (or middle name left out, or put as an initial rather than the full middle name) they will not honor the transaction.
I would rather suspect that the name on the visa and the name on the passport would have to match, otherwise you could face problems at immigration.

Thanks for replies- i will definetely get in touch with the relocation agent.
V painter: My maiden passport doesnt expire untill 2015. But new passport will have a new number. Previous passport number will be written on it to confirm the link.

You could possibly have no problem, but would definitely have the relocation guide check to be sure.
Should you get to Dammam airport and have a problem ask for the ARAMCO Representative who is most all the time at the airport. They can get him and he will help.
