attending school on a visit visa

Post new topic

happy123

Hello,

Can anyone help? My child and I will be going over to Saudi to join my husband ( he has his Igama already) on a visit visa until our residency visa is sorted.

Will my child be able to attend school on a visitors visa?

Thankyou

I am still om my visit visa, but the school I was able to get my daughter is is allowing us to start before the iquama as long as we signed a letter saying it should be done within 15 days and is under process. They also asked for a similar letter from my husband's company.

I think in the end it depends on the actual school. I hope you have an easier time getting him into school than I did. If you don't try and enroll in the spring for the upcoming year it is very hard to find a seat in a school.

Thank you, how long has your child been at the school? have they said what will happen if the 15 days is exceeded?
I am thinking of home schooling/tutoring as an option until igama sorted if the school will not accept without an igama.

My child is just starting this coming Wednesday (hopefully). Since we had to get a letter from the company saying the iquama is in process I am not sure what will happen if it takes longer, but my husband has his so I think we will be okay. Especially since Saudi National Day is tomorrow and that slows things down a little bit more.
Again I think it depends on the school. We have only been in country a little over 2 weeks, while my husband has been here since June, so everything is still in process for us.

Iqama can not be issued on visit visa, usually you need to leave KSA and return on residency visa. You need a big wasta to sort this in 15 days.
