Greeting !! Recently i applied for residency VISA for my wife and son through ABSHER. But, unfortunately my sons name excluded from the list. I went to istiqdam office and they refused to do anything because application was online. Later again i applied VISA separately for my son with extra charge of 2000 SR. Now i got 2 VISA separately @ 4000 SR. Is there any way to get it refund ? Kindly advice.

No issues the merger bank will have the transactions details from acquisition bank.

But the fact is you need to have funds in passport deposit to claim refund.

How can i enquire about it ? I am trying through this link : (https://visa.mofa.gov.sa) but it is asking Record number. What does it means ? Order number already i entered. In ABSHER, it is displaying Follow up number and Border number.

you can see it by selecting option visa issued by mofa. enter the follow up number or visa number of absher in second option enter your iqama number to see, because mofa also issue separate visa number in 1 week time.

It shows no data "No results were found, please check the entered data"

But my issue date was 14/3/2021. Is it important to display on MOFA website ?

it should appear, or you can call to mofa directly. I asked from one of my friend he said he send the visa number issued by moi for the stamping.
