Hi can anyone help me please . I have a contract to work in Saudi as a nurse. The hospital will only sponsor me and not my husband . Can anyone tell me the visa process for him . Does he need to get a job and his own sponsorship , or can he come on a visitor visa . I believe it's not a easy process . Is it easier to go to dubai instead . Any information would be great
Many thanks Tracey

I would say would be not good to be married and under someone else's visa. They will not allow you to move freely in and out of the country most likely. Depending on where you are, many people go to bahrain for the weekends. But if you do not have your passport, you are stuck. If you are not getting a butt load of money, you should just avoid it. If you are getting a butt load (doubtful as they import most people from asian and pay them little is my understanding), then put up with it as long as possible and keep looking at your bank account.
