hi! i am new here at Qatar. i am working as a waiter in a hotel. I was only from a vacation in the Philippines, i worked at Saudi Arabia as a cashier in a fastfood chain. My employer gave me a 6 months vacation period to the Philippines with a re-entry visa going back to Saudi Arabia. But i decided to go and work here at Qatar with a transferrable working visa. But when i came here, i did not like my salary with my new job because it is not sufficient to finance all my needs and my salary in Saudi Arabia is much better. My question is how can i go back to Saudi Arabia using my re-entry visa given by my employer at Saudi Arabia if i still have working visa in Qatar? do i need to have an exit visa or do i need to come back to my point of origin which is the Philippines before i can use my re-entry visa to Saudi Arabia? or can i go directly to Saudi Arabia from Qatar? what can i do?.. please help me, because the validity of my re-entry visa to Saudi Arabia will be on February 01, 2013. i have much limited time. Thank you so much!

You still need exit visa from your current employer here in Qatar for you to travel to KSA. You can file emergency or personal leave from your employer and ticket expense will be shouldered by you. Ticket from Qatar to Saudi is something 900 - 1100 QR..

Hi Bernard. since your re-entry to KSA is still valid you can use it. You can travel from Qatar to KSA which is more cheaper for you to do than going home to Philippines.

I did that already when I visited a friend in Qatar while working in KSA. Hassle FREE.

If you are holding valid working visa here in Qatar it doesnt matter at all since you have valid re-entry visa in KSA and your IQAMA is still not expired.
