FAMILY VISIT VISA RENEWAL (SAUDI EMBASSY IN THE PHILIPPINES)

154POSTS

11 years ago

Hello, Im a Filipina and Im on a Family Visit Visa here valid for 90 days, however its a "SINGLE ENTRY" visa. My husband is working here and has his residency card (IQAMA). My concern is, ill be leaving Saudi Arabia for about 3 weeks this June for a holiday in the UK, which means I cannot enter back again in Saudi Arabia unless I have my visa renewed. With this regard, I would like to hear from you guys if you know someone personally from the Saudi Embassy in the Philippines to whom I can post my passport and other documents required for visa stamping while Im in the UK.

Thank you

You need to contact an agency in the Philippines. Saudi Embassy won't entertain individuals there. I had the same problem with you before (processing visa)

Thank you. I went through that process too in the Philippines. An agent assisted me all through out the process since I was told that I cant personally submit my docs to the Saudi Embassy. It took only 24hrs to have my passport stamped which is pretty good. However, a Filipino expat told me on this website that there might be few Filipinos here who personally know someone working in the Embassy, which could mean a more convenient way for the processing. Btw, are you a resident in KSA already?

The family visit visa issuing will be on help after two months till the end of Hajj. It will only resume on the arabic month Muharam.

Where are you getting this information from?

Visa renewals will be stopped, whereas there is no update on stopping issuance of new visas. Please advise.

Sorry that was a typo. I meant "held" and i said its after two months. Two months before Hajj, the visit and umrah visas will be stopped issuing. it had been a practice since some years ago.

It depends on your status. As for me, my husband is working in KSA and he wanted me to visit. These are the things the Saudi Embassy in the Philippines required me to submit. Authenticated Marriage contract from NSO, after I submitted my authenticated marriage certificate to East-west placement agency in Makati for Saudi Embassy authentication. It will take 3 days. After that I went back to get it and hand my documents to an agent to process my papers. It only took a day to get my passport stamped. Lemme know if you need to contact her.

I hope this helps.

So, people now can't approach the embassy itself for visa (dependent, visit) processing? are we to choose which agency to go with or what?

When I phoned the Saudi Embassy in Manila, they gave me a contact person/agent/agency who were authorized to do the visa processing. I am not quite sure why they dont allow visa applicant to go to their office personally and do the processing. All I know is you need an agent to do it.

Most probably, however we cant do anything about it as the Embassy only allows their accredited agency to process the visas.

Tell your parents to apply for your visa thru the MInistry of Foreign Affairs. Once they get the Visa Approval slip, you can then start your application in the Saudi Embassy in the Philippines. Before this, you need to have you birth certificate authenticated in DFA and then in the Saudi Embassy ( thru EAST WEST Placement. Then you need an agent to process the visa stamping since you cannot hand-in your documents personally in the Embassy. It will only take at most two days for the Family Visit Visa stamping.

Good luck!
