Saudi Arabia grants visa on arrival to infants of expats
There are certain conditions that foreign residents need to keep in mind
Abu Dhabi - Emirates Voice
Saudi Arabia announced that infants of foreign residents will now be granted visa on arrival. This comes as a major relief to parents who will now not be required to obtain visa from their home country.
However, there are certain conditions that foreign residents need to keep in mind. The General Directorate of Passports was quoted saying, "The newborn will be issued a visa at the point of entry on arrival, provided the newborn has an independent passport and that the parents are residents in the kingdom - where the wife is dependent on her husband."
Last July, Saudi introduced a monthly fee for dependents of foreign workers, under which the worker must pay SAR100 ($27) a month for each dependent at the renewal or issuance of a residency visa. This will increase to SAR200 ($53) next year and SAR400 ($107) by 2020.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led
