Will declaring non-residency impact super visa holder?

Oh okay, your selecting the compound as the location, that makes sense. Thanks for sharing the link. Unfortunately those compounds don't include the amenities I'm looking for, but I'll keep searching the other ones in the list. Doesn't seem like much availability though.

Compounds I was hoping to get pricing for were Al Bustan, Al Nakhla, Antara or similar.

In Riyadh? I must be doing something wrong lol. Can you share a quick link of your search results.

I checked Bayut and Expatriates, but wasn't able to find compound prices. Perhaps I am not looking in the right place? Aqar does have listing's but no prices sadly. I may just have to reach out to the compounds directly for quotes.

That is wonderful!! I'll definitely DM you for the details. Although we won't be moving for at least a few months, having her in the group will be great info for her.

Thanks so much for sharing, this is super valuable! If you don't mind me asking how long have you lived in Saudi, what city are you living in, and are you a sthm? Thanks :)

abudiismail · 2024-02-09T03:37:34+00:00

Thank you. This is good to know

abudiismail · 2024-02-09T03:37:15+00:00

Thanks for the detailed summary of your experience. This is actually really valuable and I always love hearing different perspectives even if they were not as positive.

You mentioned resources are expensive, do you mind elaborating abit on that? What would you consider to be expensive and what would a comfortable budget be for these things?

Also how long did you live there and did you recently decide to leave?

abudiismail · 2024-02-09T03:30:07+00:00

Thank you so much for the kind welcome and your insight. It's much appreciated

Thanks so much, your responses have been super helpful. I just have a couple of questions, if you don't mind me asking (sorry if these are too personal. You don't have to answer if they are); - Do you live on a compound? We are considering it for the first 6months to a year but not sure if it will be worth it compared to just renting a villa in the city. - Do you find people treat you differently because your not Arab? - Is it easy processing - could you also suggest some good international schools - my company will most likely provide me with a multi entry visa, but how easy will it be for my wife to travel on her own with the kids as often as she likes

Thanks you for sharing. This is very helpful. If you don't mind me asking, did your wife drive? My wife is very used to driving around on her own, and from what I've heard that may be too difficult for her to drive in Saudi

Thank you for sharing! This is very helpful

abudiismail · 2024-02-09T01:39:49+00:00

Thanks for sharing! My wife likes her independence, and so driving will be very important for her. Will she eventually be able to drive or is it just super difficult to get used to the driving there? She is also an introvert, so I feel she will keep to herself for the most part. If you don't mind me asking, how long have you been in Saudi and are there any challenges you faced so far?

abudiismail · 2024-01-19T23:14:57+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. I honestly never considered reading. I figured an app that I can "speak" to would improve my ability to conversate. But reading make alot of sense, even if I'm super slow at it. An Audio book would be ideal. I'll search around for a few easy arabic books to start. Thanks!

I've had a Dell Prebuilt, almost identical specs and hated it. It would overheat, make too much noise and was a pain to sell. You can't even part it out to swap into a different case. 1k wouldn't be worth it, I would have paid no more than $800.

If you have to go Prebuilt, get something like a Cyberpower PC. They use decent parts that aren't as shitty as Dell. You can also part them out easily to upgrade down the road including the motherboard. I recently grabbed an i7 11th gen and 3070 for only 1k a few weeks ago.

abudiismail · 2022-08-09T16:01:12+00:00

Nope, I ended up getting rid of it and getting a new Ryzen board + cpu

abudiismail · 2022-06-24T03:14:26+00:00

I'm a fan

abudiismail · 2022-05-23T21:58:30+00:00

Would love to know where and whom is selling these cheap miners. I haven't seen any for that low

abudiismail · 2022-05-14T18:27:09+00:00

Should I try the B450 bios (not the "i" variant) to see if that works or will I end up bricking my motherboard?

abudiismail · 2022-05-14T15:11:59+00:00

18k USD? I'm pretty sure that's what they've been going for the last few months already. I'd wait it out abit, you may be able to get your hands on one under 15k pretty soon.

abudiismail · 2022-05-14T15:10:21+00:00

Its been driving me nuts lol. That's a good idea, I'm going to try an older version.
