Hello everyone, i'm in dire need of help & advise regarding on how to bring my mother to Riyadh. My fathers visa status has been changed to labor so he cannot apply for it, my iqama profession is "General Accountant" so i think i can apply for it.
However I have tried 3 times already through the online family visit visa form (https://visa.mofa.gov.sa/VisaFamilyApp/FamilyApp.asp) but everytime its been rejected. The first 2 time i accidentally wrote a few wrong details but the 3rd time everything was correct in the proper format but still i got rejected (though i did not write the رقم تأشيرة الدخول because i got my visa through transfering myself from my dad to a saudi sponsor) plus my sponsor says that its not for us to fill but the office (i do not know if this info is correct though!)
Since this did not work we went to Ministry of Foreign Affairs to ask them why they are refusing but they did not give any reply just shooed us off, so we went to some of these general services offices outside of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and solicited their help, they said you should apply manually not online if your being rejected, through the Ministry of Interior. From there we got another form which needs to be filled, plus we went inside the MOI office and the guy inside said you need a copy of your iqama, mothers passport, letter from kafeel stating salary etc., academic qualification attested from Foreign affairs in my home country and stamped by the saudi embassy there after which we can apply not only for visit visa for my mother but a permanent visa as well (with a fees of SAR 2000 or so), IS ANY OF THIS TRUE? or am i being lied to and scammed?
Now i do not know how true all of this is, i've been bouncing around wasting money trying to get this sorted and have lost money and my patience. I need to know where i can go and what i need to do to get this visa without anymore delays.
I'm going through a very rough phase in my life and really need my mother to be here with us, so any help will be supremely appreciated.
Regards
