I am from india,i work in saudi arabi but my wife is having different nationality. Can anyone tell me, is it possible to get family visa to stay in ksa ? what will be the process , since both have different nationalities? or it will same normal process?

Hello Salman,
Highly appreciate your help in this forum. I am new to KSA and I am on business visa with validity of 90 days. I was told by my 3rd party employer that I can bring my family after I get work permit (sponsored by client). But looking at the underlying scenario at KSA, I think its not that easy to get a work permit. Correct me if I am wrong, but is Iqama and work permit the same?

If at all I am able to get in my family, then what visa will that be and how long can my family stay with me?


Regards,
Arsad

Dear Abdullah... Your post is not clear enough. Where is your wife currently? Inside Saudi on some other visa or at your home country?

koi visit visa holder job kr sakta ha  riydh mein?

Asalamoalakum,
                 

I am working in Jubail and in my company so many people who have monthly Salary  more than SR.8,000/-  in GOSI get the visa through "Abshor" as the now a day Istakdam is creating too many problem regarding Deploma of old profession and also new profession. But this is only those person who not change the profession. In this regard kindly guide for getting the as my monthly salary is SR.8,000/- which also shown in GOSI. Kindly advise as our company not allowed the family on visa visa.

Presently my wife is inside the Saudi on visa visa upt 11th August, 2015.

Hello Salman,
Hope this finds you in the best of your health.
My wife is getting a job in KSA as a professor and they are providing work visa question is what will be the status of my visa and what are the limitations .
I am an IT professional will I be able to apply for jobs, buy a car etc.
thanks a lot in advance.

Dear,

The spouse of working professional is not allowed to work. It is illegal. For ladies, they have allowed teaching due to their lack of qualified lady teachers. But that's not the case for men. You have to get a work permit to be able to do any job.

If you would be on work permit, your wife is not allowed to job other then a few exceptions that Ministry of Labor has issued. If your wife is on work permit; you are her dependent and not allowed to work even if you are a doctor or engineer.

well if ur a doc you can get job in pvt hospitals and also they may even give you new visa.. i have seen many examples.. but for IT professional things are bleak. yes you can buy car and open account too ! rest you can try apply at companies and if some company hire you they may give you a new visa too with work permit..

Dear Experts ,

I am a srilankan national on working visit visa knows as Business visa ,

Is it possible to bring my wife with me as a partner or escort , some are saying not possible some are saying possible

My friend he is an indian and brought his wife with him for 3 months recently with same visa category but he doesn't know what category company helped him.

Could you please advise me any option for me to bring my wife here,

Thank you
Best Regards
Pari

When you are on business visa you can bring your family as well with you, but the application for the visa has to be done collectively for you and your family at the same time as visit visa.  She will be coming as your wife - there is no escort category.

Hi HRGuru

Thank you for your valuable information sharing ,

my company is asking how to request an invitation with wife, what are the document have to be submitted.

My country Saudi embassy staff also told me that if you can add your wife's name under your name when you are submitting for visa, We will try to process it.

but don't know in which category or method get the invitation with my wife's name . and what are the documents needed from her side other than passport and married certificate.

could you please guide me on this matter.,

you know how long it will take.

Thanks

Your company will be applying your visa through MOFA portal. At the same portal they can add another row and add your wife's details as well and apply for the visa online. The category will be as wife.

Thank you for your advice,
but my company is repeatedly saying it is not possible getting a visa for Business visa,

They are asking me to  send any document or stated at a website to prove that Busines Visa can bring his wife with him.

please provide me if there anything that I can explain them with more clarity.

Sorry bro , continuously disturbing you

Thank you very much for your time and knowledge,

Hi Salman,
I can see how greatly you are helping people with your knowledge- very impressed.

I just got married and my wife is a US citizen. I am myself a Paksitani national. Few days back i applied for a visit visa for my wife and MOFA issued a four year multiple entry visa.


Now do you think having different passports could be an issue? Also i am worried what will be the fee? As now a single entry visit visa cost around 2000 SAR

Appreciate your guidence

There wont be an issue since you two have different passports as long as you are lrgally married and can prove with a marriage certificate. As for the visit visa fees as Dr Ryyan said it is 400 riyals and not 2000.

Dear all,

I am working in Al Nakhla Residential Compound which in the same we do run a hotel of one and two bedroom suite, you can stay and enjoy all compound facilities in a secure and strategic location where you can see the resort as an option if you did not like (I doubt it) you can look elsewhere. we have only one condition to take guests is which is you have to have a westren passport.

If anyone interested, please PM and happy to help ;D

You can not bring your wife with you.

after arrival on work visa, and making your work permit and resident permit you may apply for a visa for your wife.
thanks

Dear Mr. Salman,

I have an question. Please reply me as soon as possible.

I came to KSA in Jubail from Bangalore, India work with a company visa here but my visa is working visit visa. Just wanted to ask you whether i can call my family to KSA in this visa. Is it possible me to bring my family to KSA.(Wife and my daughter)

My Profession is Chemical Engineer on visa page stamped in my passport.

Please kindly suggest me .

Usually Engineers do have family status, but check your contract if the expense will be covered by your company or you have to take the cost.

Thanks for your immediate reply.In Contract single status... i can do expense. by the way how much it cost for me.. is it possible to bring my family in that visa. whatz the procedure and how much time it will take.

Please provide me the details.
Thanks

you have couple of options here.

1) Visit Visa:
You can apply for their visit visa, requirements are less and it is much quicker. disadvantage is that your kids will not be able to go to school and the visa is valid for 3 months (with option to extend). Currently visa fees are also very high.

More Info:


2) Apply permanent Visa:
I am not sure about the fee, but do keep in mind that now there is 100 SAR per family per month fee that have to be paid. But atleast your family will be with you.

More information:

Has i am having working visit visa.. i can bring my family in that visa.. Because in working visit visa iqama is not there. working visit visa no iqama but my visa 365 days visa..

Important i want to know is it possible to get family visit in this working visit visa.

THANKS

Sorry never heard of working visit visa, as per my knowledge you will need iqama in order to work here. Without Iqama you can not to any thing here.

In business visit visa also i cant work in KSA. visa valid for 365 days.

Dear Shareef ,

I am also searching teaching job in school for my wife   ,if you know any vacancy, let me know,i have also one daughter ,i have also same queries about my daughter visa ,is she can come with mother ?,when you get the information please let me know.

Hello Salman,

I saw all the posts which clearly shows that you have great knowledge about visas and rules of Saudi kingdom. I am sure that you will also help me and provide the solution. My problem is that my husband is working in Riyadh from almost 4 months and I want to join them asap.His company is not filing my visa and tourist visa is prohibited there so what can we do? It's almost four months now. I am very worried and frustrated. So please can you help me about this.

Thanks in advance

Greetings,

it seems i was summoned from the dead.

so as far as I know, your spouses employer MUST agree to issuing your dependent visa. any other way would not be legal. even if you get a tourist visa it would eventually cause you issues such as health insurance and company benefits.

was this not sorted out with your spouses employer pre-employment? what is the nature of his contract, single or family?

regards,
Salman

please reply .

Hello Salman,

If my husband will get iqama then how long it will take to process my iqama......what is the processing time for my iqama?

Thanks in advance

@Zohaib_Ahsan

Nope, you cannot issue a visit visa if you're not a resident of Saudi Arabia.
your best bet would be an Umrah visa or a Tourism Visa, the tourist visa isn't openly available yet though.
