I got a job in Saudi Arabia, and my visa was stamped on January 29. It's a temporary work visa with 180 days of validity, and it's written as a single entry for 90 days. The company was not suitable, and I decided not to join, so I didn't travel. Will this visa be automatically canceled after 90 days, or will it take the full 180 days to get canceled? Do I need to cancel it myself? Also, will there be any issues obtaining visas for other GCC countries for work simultaneously? Please help.

In Saudi Arabia, if you do not use your work visa within the specified entry period, which in your case is 90 days, the visa will automatically be canceled. You do not need to take any action to cancel it yourself. However, it's always advisable to inform the Saudi Arabian embassy or consulate in your home country about your decision not to join the company. As for obtaining visas for other GCC countries, the cancellation of your Saudi work visa should not directly impact your ability to secure visas for other Gulf Cooperation Council countries. However, it's recommended to check the specific visa requirements of the countries you plan to visit for work to ensure a smooth process.
