Saudi Arabia Family Visit Visa: Crucial 2026 Requirements

Reuniting with your family in Saudi Arabia is a top priority for expatriates living and working in the Kingdom. While Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) has streamlined the application portal, the system enforces a zero-tolerance policy for mismatched details or incomplete documentation.

To successfully secure a Family Visit Visa, the process must be precisely coordinated across two distinct phases:

Phase 1: Sponsor Requirements (Inside Saudi Arabia)

The host family member must initiate the application online through the official MOFA visa services platform.

  • The Invitation Document: A formally approved and active Visa Invitation Letter issued by MOFA.

  • Valid Iqama and Passport: Legally active residence permits (Iqama) with a minimum of 90 days validity.

  • Attested Employer Letter: A salary and profession certificate issued by the sponsor's employer and fully attested by the Saudi Chamber of Commerce.

Phase 2: Visitor Requirements (In the Home Country)

Once the electronic invitation is approved, the family members applying from abroad must submit their physical dossiers to the Saudi embassy or authorized service centers:

  • Validated Passports: Must hold at least 6 months of validity and contain 2 blank pages.

  • Attested Proof of Relationship: Certified, legalized documents (such as Marriage Certificates for spouses or Birth Certificates for children) showing a clear link to the sponsor.

  • Matched Flight and Health Cover: Confirmed round-trip flight bookings and a mandatory travel health insurance policy linked to the official visa portal.

Flawless submissions start here:

A single typo in a name or passport number can cause an immediate system rejection. City Squares takes over the complex documentation loop.
