Hello Members,

My wife is on valid Saudi Iqama (Independent, Working Visa, Not under my sponsorship). She is pregnant and want to visit home country (on Exit / Re-entry Visa) for baby delivery and intends to come back to KSA afterwards. I want to know what is the process in this regard. I read somewhere if she can come back within one month after baby delivery then there is no need to have a baby's passport / iqama and baby will be treated as on her mother's iqama and we can process for baby's iqama after arrival. I shall be grateful for valuable knowledge in this matter.

Thanks.

If i remember it right, arrival visa is applicable to new born outside KSA until 6 months but should have a passport.
It happened to my boy, we brought him on his 4th month. My wife is my dependent.
