Application process for dependants on visit visa is very simple. You first need to have the following documents in hand:
- passport copy of visiting folks
- your passport copy with first entry visa page and current passport
- iqama copy
- copy of your company CR & ID number in Maktab Al Amal

You then go to MOFA website and fill in the application online with the information from the above documents. Then you need to print that application out and get it attested from COC. Once COC attests that document, there will be a reference number from the COC which has to be entered into the website application. Once this is done, your application will be officially submitted in MOFA and then you need to submit the copies of the above documents you have to them and visa will be released in 2-3 working days. you have 3 days to submit application online after first print out and before COC attestation.

You need to go with the printed application form which is attested from COC and all the documents that I have mentioned.

Recently they have relaxed a lot of requirements for visit visa's. I have seen laborers and drivers bring family on visit visa. So what to do best is to try and see since nothing is "maktub" or "written" in KSA.
