@ttshah,
I guess you don't check your mails or somehow my mails land in your junk folders

The visit visas normally close before Hajj. Do let us know what does that screen says. Are they asking you to visit them? (Yes, this happens oftentimes).

Nah, you are not checking in the right way. You are going to the page created to submit a NEW application (a bookmark may be).
https://visa.mofa.gov.sa/VisaFamilyApp/FamilyApp.asp

The last time you submitted you application, one application number was issued to you. Enter it in this screen along with your Iqama number.
https://visa.mofa.gov.sa/SrhComFamilyVisa.asp

Hopw it helped.

I think you have just filled that application and that's it?

No, you have to:

1- Print this form
2- Sign yourself
3- Get signature from your employer (who has signature in Chamber of Commerce for verification).
4- Now make a copy of form for your records.
5- Visit Chamber of Commerce and submit it to the service cashier. He;ll charge you 25 Riyals and issue you a receipt.
6- Now get back home and keep checking on the MOFA website.

No need to visit MOFA.

Great!

I guess some unexpected glitch then. Please visit MOFA with the application form copy and the receipt given by CoC.

If nothing works, consider filling the application again.

The MOFA for Dammam and Khobar is same, Just asked the Cab driver for Ministry of foreign office. Its on the same highway where OTHAIM Mall is situated.

I guess, they will ask you to wait ...

One of my friend got the call after 21 days , I mean the status was changed after 21 days, so I suggest to wait little more..

Aoa, I am doing job in Dubai but i am looking in Saudi i am searching job via website but its not working. now i plan to visit Saudi but i have few questions that can i search job in saudi on vist visa in any city or i will be bound for one city.

If anyone knows Outsourcing or receuirtment agency of saudi arabia also inform me so may be no need to visit saudi arabia.

If anyone knows best way to get job there, i will appriciate. I agree to pay small for getting job like here in dubai so many agency taking 500 to 1000 dirham and providing interviews and jobs.

Looking for a good news from anyone.

Dear TLL, Just need to ask you if I am having a DRIVING LICENSE from Oman as well as from Dubai, How do I go about getting the DL from KSA??
-Would it just be a license interchange thing or do I have to start right from the scratch?? Please guide me.

Hi All, Heard about the NITAQAT or Saudization program being put into force and thus the categorization of Saudi companies; my query is that how can you ascertain the category of a company i.e. whether it belongs to Green, Yellow or Red category?? Thanks

Those 2 DLs must help though they insist on the one from your home country.

And no, it's never an interchange thing. You have to go through an exam & a test drive procedure.

Thanks TLL, It was certainly helpful regarding the DL thing; however please advise me on my other query regarding CATEGORIZATION of Saudi companies.

Thanks

Nop, unfortunately such info about companies is not publicly available. Nevertheless, there IS a way.

For a quick check, get Iqama number of some employee who is currently in sponsorship of that company. Then enter it here on this website and see what color the company falls in:
