Hello people. I would like advice/thoughts from people who have gone through the process of applying for dependant visa for their spouse.

I tried applying online, but it was mentioned since I'm female I cannot do it. So I booked an appointment and one was available like 1.5 months later (I'm guessing this is normal).

Few questions:

Is an appointment needed for Istiqdam or can I just go?

Does all the documents need Saudi embassy attestation from home country?

How long will it take after the appointment to get the visa processed?
