Saudi Arabia

[Justin Kelly]

Does anyone know if my (future) Thai wife can come and live with me in Saudi Arabia, Riyadh?

Seriously even if she could why would she want to do that.

I you care about her why would you want to take her there.

Cultural differences vast,.

A friend took his Filapina wife to Saudi Arabia.  She was arrested and whipped several times by the religious police for "Immodest clothing" though she was as careful as she could be to to dress properly.  The religious police are all-powerful, arrogant SOB's

I lived in Riyadh with my British/Indian wife for 15 years and we enjoyed our time there.

 

During my time there I had several friends marry and bring their Thai brides to live with them. None of them had any issues at all. And from what I have read and hear of developments, life is becoming more relaxed there in the last few years.

 

Check out visa requirements. Following the so called 'blue diamond incident', it was difficult for Thais to get work visas, but I don't recall that affecting spouse visas.

 

Don't take any notice of those who have never been there and have no idea what life is like in KSA.
