Hi,

I have a multi entry visa which is valid for 6 months. Is there a maximum number of times i can come in and out of. I've heard 3 times in the max is it true?

Thanks

I have never heard of a maximum number of exit/re-entry trips on a multiple entry visa. Many people here in the Eastern Province go to Bahrain on at least a weekly basis, and some on almost a daily basis. They seem to have no problem with the number of exits and re-entries.

What you have is actually a Multiple Exit/re-entry Visa. Usually valif for six months but will expire when your Iqama needs renewed if that is less than six months from date of issue. Aramcons, but no one else, get them for 12 months.

There is NO LIMIT on the number of exits you can make.

I had not thought of that. Some dodgy operators give people business visa - even when they are coming as employees. Watch out for sharks in these waters. A business visa means no iqama. That means no bank account. No driving licence.
