Once your husband has been in the country a few months he can request a multiple exit visa from his company... the cost is minimal (some companies will try and shy away from this depending on the nationality and the position held in Saudia).

Depending again on the company that your husband is working for it can take from 2 weeks to 3 months. Ensure that your husband has all the required documentation before he departs for Saudia... i.e. your husbands company can give you a list of the requirements or you can ask at your nearest Saudi embassy.

The igama as it is called in Saudia will take but a few days to a few weeks depending again on the company your husband is working for.

No you are not expected to be in an Abaya when you arrive in Saudia.

Yes, a woman can take a taxi by herself (ensure you change some money into riyals before you depart the airport or if you can change them in the country you live in.
No being in a taxi with another male is fine.

Depending again on the company that your husband is working for it can take from a couple of days to a month.

Yes your music CD's and books will be screened before being allowed into the country (my suggestion is not to take them).

There are no problems with any of the CD's but they will be screened and no there is no charge for this.

If you have any further inquiries have a look at my Life as an expat in Saudia and if you have further questions send me an email at pathawkins@hotmail.com

Chow for now
