Dear Legend,
I recently got married from Saudi Arabia, Dammam.
I wanted to ask you some doubts that i have.

If i want to transfer my wife's visa into mine, do i need any approval from my employer ?
if not, will i have to handle all the expenses (like iqama / insurance etc.) of my wife ?

The recent procedure I know of as a friend did:

1- Visit Jawazat and ask for the section that would transfer your wife from her dad's iqama to yours.
2- Complete the documentation. (Your and her iqamas and passports, a form that you'll get from Jawazat.)
2- Request your father-in-law (her current sponsor) to come along.
3- He'll sign the above mentioned form in front of an official who'll stamp the form.
4- Submit the form and the Jawazat official will printthe new iqama.

The exact list of requirements can be sought from Jawazat.

I trust some companies are still following the old way. You have to give all docs (including a letter from your father-in-law on his company's letter-head stating no objection on the transfer). And the mouqab will do all. Please check with your HR.

About expenses, 2000 SAR must be on your wife's Iqama number at the time of transfer.
If your contract with your company is of married marital status, they must bear the cost.

Yes. You'll be able to transfer her iqama to your sponsorship.

What the company won't give is:
- family accommodation (3 basic salaries per year)
- medical insurance for your wife and kids
- vacation tickets for them

A stamp from a senior official is needed from the marriage court. You can ask the secretary of your Qazi what stamps (probably more than one) are needed.

The next and final stamp will be from MoFA. Make sure you pay the document attestation fee of 30SAR through their their website using SADAD first.

I'm a Pakistani female and a government university employee. I'm very upset. I want to marry a Saudi guy but I came to know that Saudis need to get permission of government before marrying forirgners and that's a very time taking and difficult procedure.

My question is that if I marry this Saudi guy in Pakistan and come back to Ksa; would it be alright and after that we can sort out our matters with Saudi government? Please help me

Him getting a visa to Pakistan will be troublesome too.

If he has connections he can expedite the request...good luck.

Confuse2000,

Before you do anything, you need to understand the reality and details of Saudis marrying foreigners. It is not a walk in the park. It is a journey.

Saudi law makes it extremely difficult for Saudis to marry foreigners. In fact many just give up, but that doesn't mean you have to.

To learn more about Saudi-Foreign marriages, check out the blog below. It is written by an American woman who is married to a Saudi.

Me ( Indian Muslim) and my girlfriend ( philippini Muslim) wants to marry here.
We have the letter of consent ready @ her home. Can u pls tell me what to do with that letter specifically ( like I heard in filipines we need to submit in embassy and here in Riyadh too we need to attest in embassy of phillipine and Saudi both, is that true)
What is the format of letter of no objection from her employer and how we need to attest it coz she is maid working under direct kafeel.
And how to get the imam certificate from mosque ( which shows I'm a good character)

wa alaikum salam wa rahma

dear sister

makkah is the best place to begin a new life ... you can come here in umrah visa. and try to get your fathers death cirtificate . because (permission of father is neccesory in shareea). and in makka there are many offices in al haram itself to guide us,. they will guide you to reach your goal .. one of them will be your wali. andthey will get your nikkah done .. insha allah ..
may allah help us to live in right path, jizak allah khair

wa alaikum salam warahmathullah
dear
as i know . its a dream of a muslim to get the nikkah done from the blessed places of the earth from makkah or madeena. there are many expacts andvisitors are coming to perform umrah and they are prepared for the nikkah in makkah al mukkarrama.. nikkah can be done in makkah if the father of the bride or anybody else who is permitted bey the brides father is with them .. the importent thing is they need the permission from the father of the bride and the bride must be present .. and insha allah nikkah can be done in makkah al mukkarrama with the guidence of dawa centre .. may allah guide us in right path .. ameen

best regards

This question must have been answered million of times. But just one more time for my clarification, I am a valid Iqama holder, and me and my fiance and both pakistani nationals, if my fiance comes on Umrah visa can we get our registered nikah done in any way without going back to our country?
Also i heard the makkah/haram offices will help? how true it is? I want to get all things confirm before i ask him to come here for nikah.
