Are you referring to visit visas for Saudi?

Yes

You need to apply through VFS Tahseel office in BFH.   Theoretically, yes but it is arbitrary at times.  From no issues to rejections to requirement for sponsor i.e. wife to be with husband.

i was calling VFS Tahseel, but they are not picking the call

They almost never do

Better to send email (eventually gets replied) or go in person.

Thanks,

I sent email, let see if they reply, or i'll visit them on Sunday

Regards

Did you find out from VFS Tahseel?

Yes, Sorry i forgot the post the details here

For eruopean passport the price is 120BD (including everything) same fees for Single, or multiple 6 month, 1 year or 2 years... which is good (but on their website the fees is different)

Hi; saw this post and checked VFS TASHEEL website about now… I think the visa fees for Escort are now around BD50.. has anyone acquired this visa???

@Enigma_j hi there, why do we have to apply through vfstasheel and not directly through the visitsaudi website? I just want to make sure I apply correctly It seems that applying through the visitvisa website is very easy and straightforward. However, when looking into the vfstasheel website, when i select escort visa, I have to attach an invitation letter to be able to proceed with the application. I am a US citizen and am married to a Bahraini. I think it makes sense to just apply like any other tourist through the visitsaudi website and get the visa. We plan to drive from Bahrain to Saudi. Hope to hear from others who have tried getting the visa.

As a US citizen, just go for a normal tourist visa.........much less hassle.
