Hi all,

I am looking at other jobs, but I would like to know if I can live in KSA without working for a company in Saudi?

I have paid rent upfront for my apartment in Jeddah, and my landlord isn't willing to return any of my money.

What visa would I need to live in Saudi if possible?

Thanks!

You will need to sponsored by a local or a company to stay in visa, else a tourist visa category as per your nationality.
