Visa for dependent parents

They can come on visit visa, dependent not possible.

Thanks for the reply. But visit visa is for 90 days only. How can i make it for a long period? Any idea how much expensive it is?

They can come on visit visa and then you can convert this into dependent visa. You will need to apply with the office of minsiter of foreign affiars,  showing letter from your company, employment status, in addition to all documents copies, letter requesting him for his assistance to convert them to dependent visa since you are the sole supporter for them. Once you submit this at the office there, they will give you a tracking number that which you can follow through MOFA site. Once approved, their visit will be converted to iqamah.

Thanks a lot HRguru. Really helpful and exclusive. 😊
