Foreigners need to obtain another exit and re-entry for next trip to outside kingdom of KSA. Your employer/Kafeel decides the  validity of your exit and re-entry visa. It can be given from 1 month to 1 year visa validity but it totally depends on the consent of your kafeel. Generally single entry visas do not have validity more than a year.

Multiple Entry Exit/Re-Entry Visa:

Multiple entry allows foreigners to leave and enter Saudi Arabia as many times as they want. There is no restriction or limitation of number of trips under Multiple entry visa. However, it is not issued for life time or some very long time. Normally it is valid for six months from date of issue, so travelers can make unlimited trips within six months’ visa validity.

Mostly expats like to get multiple entry visa because there is no restriction on number of entries. They are free to make trips anywhere they want but still this type of visa depends on employer and also depends on your job contract with kafeel.
