Family visit visa

An Advise. dont bring your family as the expenses will be unbearable , you cant survive with your family , only bachlores can survive, new tax on expats, high prices on everything its better to live alone.

Yes the family Visit Visa fee has been reduced and you can bring your family with reduced price.

@Shaffin: there is no tax on family visit visa. Don't let the people down with false info.

Thanks everybody, please don't be confused with family visa and family visit visa. Alhamdolillah I got family visit visa stamped. THE FEE HAS BEEN REDUCED TO 305 RIYALS ONLY! Insurance extra.

Can you post a pic of the visa as proof?

Dear Uwes,

How much is the Insurance you paid?

It depends on the service provider ( varies from 80$ - 240 $ )

Total money taken by agent 19000/- INR per person, it included agent's fee. Visa fee as printed on visa is 305/-Riyals. Today my parents will arrive in shaa Allah only after that I may tell you insurance charges.

Dear all what is the difference between, family visit visa and family visa?

Hi Sofia,

There 2 types of family visa,
1. Family Resident Visa: In this type of visa, the sponsor of the family needs to pay Monthly levy and the sponsored person will get a Iqama / Resident ID Card. This is best option to stay with family here in Saudi Arabia, but it's too much expensive these days.
2. Family Visit Visa: Using this type of visa, the sponsored person will have right to stay here in Saudi according the visa validity period. Based on the current situation in Saudi Arabia, I will choose this type of visa, because I don't need to pay the Monthly levy against each member of family. It's much cheaper then the previous one.
Thanks

Good morning! Thank you so much for your response! Can you tell me if in both visas does my husband ,who works in KSA , to have an Iqama ?Can we issue any type of these 2 visas in order to visit him, while he has work permit visas?
Thank you again!

Most welcome,

Of course, if your husband is working here in Saudi Arabia in work permit, he must has an Iqama (Resident ID). In case, if he works here only for a short period, he may with work without it (In this case, he has to ask his sponsor/Kafeel to issue a visit visa for you). Any how, if your husband is a resident of Saudi Arabia, then he has an Iqama and he can apply for a visit visa for you, if his Sponsor (Kafeel) allows him.

If you also would like  to work here, then he should apply for a Family Resident Visa.
Otherwise, Family visit visa is enough, and it's much cheaper.
Thanks

Thank you so much, your help is too much appreciated! My husband has Working Visit Visa, multiple entries with duration stay 30 days. Do you know if we can get any of these 2?
Thank you in advance!

Can anybody confirm that family visit visa fee is reduced fo pakistan as well?

Hello,
Good morning, you are welcome.
Yes, you can get this type of visa too, but as per my knowledge, your husband can not be your sponsor, your sponsor has to be the same person or company who is sponsor of your husband.
Thanks

Hi brother.

My wife is  on visit visa and she's pregnant. We want to deliver baby here but we don't have any insurance.  Could you please share any information related to the insurance for visit visa holders? And without insurance if we go for delivery how much they will charge?

I'm referring to medical Insurance.

Thanks 🙏

I do not know about insurance but the delivery charges will be above 6-7k SAR.
If you have a multiple entry visit visa then send your wife to your home country for delivery.

Normal delivery charges - cost around 4.5k to 5k, Operation cost around - 8.5k to 10k

Guys, I see some confusion here about the terminology of the family visa, so to make it clear -> Residents can issue 2 types of visas for their family members

1) Permanent family visa:- That is the visa that ends with Iqama for the family which entends to live as residents. Fees are expensive for this type of visa.

2) Family visit visa: and this visa doesn't entitle the members other than the Mukeem person to be resident. So this is a temporary visa only for visit and the fees are not expensive depending of course of the duration requested for the visa.

@rinaadams The 30 days single-entry family visit visa can be renewed up to 5 times (that means a total of 180 days). However the multiple-entry visa  can be issued only for 90 days with maximum 4 entries and it is (non renewable).
