Visit Visa

Hi,
Does anyone have any ideas if I can bring my mum to Saudi Arabia on a visit visa but she is not in her home country? Can I apply for her visit visa from any country where she is?
Thanks

If she is a citizen or a legal resident of the country she is currently in, then yes.  If she is on a visit visa there, then no.
Thanks for the reply
She is British and Pakistani as she holds dual Nationality
Also, how long can it take to get a visit visa.
Depends on the country you apply in.   Every processing center has different timelines depending on load of applications etc.   Pakistan would have higher loads then say, UK.   I applied from Bahrain a few weeks ago and it took me 2 days (but all documentation was complete prior to this).

In addition, you need to decide which visa you want her to apply for.  If it is a family visit visa, you would need to apply for a pre-approved MOFA visa and then she needs to submit documents in the visa center.    Alternatively, with a British nationality, you can apply online for a tourist visa - you get it in minutes.  Will save you the hassle.
Daughter on her father's visit visa for more than 2 years in KSA. Her husband got an offer in KSA six months ago and working with KSA and living together. What's the procedure if she wants to deliver her baby here in KSA. They have proof and having Registered Marriage Certificate from India. Please advise.

The application of Saudi family Visit visa is online, so you can apply from anywhere, after submitting application you need to do mofa from your company.

@Roohishabir2k....   Greetings, Affirmative. You just need to enter the country of her current living so that she can get the Visa stamped from Saudi embassy of that country.

Q - If I have a visit Visa for 3 family members ( Wife, Son, and Daughter ) at the same Visa issuance slip, can I get 2 of them in Saudi Arabia now and one of them after 1 month? Can 2 Visas be stamped now and the 3rd one after 30 days?
