Hi folks,
How much time (minimum to maximum) is needed to have the multiple entry-exit visa in my hands after landing to KSA.
I will be on board end of february 2018.
Many thanks

You can only apply for exit/entry once you have Iqama.
Save time by applying and paying for exit/entry as soon your receive Iqama from HR.
You can apply for 1 time, 1 month, 3 month, 6 month, and 12 months.
I know 12 months for sure as I got that, others could be slightly different for duration if they changed.
Here's the catch: exit/entry is NOT free, you pay from your payroll.
My 12 month exit/entry was I believe 2300 Riyals.
You'll get it within a few days, and then it has be initially used by a certain date, say 30 to 60 days; your will tell you.
If you don't use it at least once by then, it becomes void.
Also, if you leave Saudi without an exit/entry to come back, or expired Iqama, you cannot enter Saudi, as in, you will be denied boarding or crossing over the causeway from Bahrain. Airlines and airport do check the validity of both; it's happened to me from every place back to Saudi, and some airlines won't let you do online check in as they have to check the documents.
Always carry a paper copy of both your Iqama and exit/entry dates with you, in the event systems at other airport are down, or even when leaving Saudi.
