Visit Visa for Father and Sister

As i heard u can invite both of parents on visit visa.In your case u have only dad and sister. u can invite them on visit visa only .

evenfor visit, just apply online and check. by the way cross check with ur country agents what documents required for  stamping the visa in home country.

for RESIDENT visa, u need to contact your company admin department who knows the copmplete requirements of documents to be produced...

Dear Farzabbas,

Thank you very much for your kind suggestions.

I think I still need more professional and detailed advise/suggestions and guidance in my case.

Please share my problem with your friends/relatives and try to find if somebody has/keeps much deeper knowledge of my case.

Thanks, again!

Best regards,

Abdul Haq

you can get only visit visa for them. I did it for me and hence can tell you. As per your luck it can be for one month or three month. Once they r here it canbe further extended two times one/ three month each as per your chance with KSA officer. So you can keep them here for 1x3  or 3x3 months at one stretch.

documents.
therir passport copy
your salary cert in arabic with chamber attn
visa form filled in arabic
your iqama copy and passport copy
your original iqama
your authorisation letter for agent in saudi who will process visa for you
employer NOC,  agent will tell you this letter format


With all the above, agent will apply online to MOFA, if approved he will go to MOFA office with all the above original papers and get a print out of a letter which you ve to email/send to India. scan copy will do. In India

if all goes well your agent can get passport stamped for visa in one week and they can join you then.

Dear Vivek,

Thank you very much for your detailed reply to my post.

I owe your favour. I really appreciate your guidance in my matter...

I just wondered if I can contact you via phone just in case I need any further assistance at the time of making application.

I am changing my profession to Communications Engineer....and it is under process at Saudi Council of Engineers.....once my profession is changed I can then start the process of obtaining a visit visa for both of them......

Kindly let me know your contact details...

I will get in touch with you soon.

some of my acquaintances still saying me that it is not possible to get father's visit visa....am really worried if this is actually true......

Thank you,

Best regards,

I do not trust that visit visa for father is difficult unless someone has first hand experience. I know at least 5 more families( apart from me) who got visit visa for father and did NOT face any problem.

For age 60, definitley no problem. (If age less than 60 then the Authorities could guess that he might be coming for job on visit visa)

The problem can be in many other issues - salary mentioned on the certificate, your employer reputation, your iqama expiry date vs date of application, exactly matching names on passports of yours/your father,  whether you seek visa before Hajj period(to create doubt in Saudi officer's mind that they will go for Hajj anyhow once they are in Saudi)etc.

As far as expatriates are concerned everyone knows everything in Saudi and yet nobody knows anything in Saudi.
