30 days visit visa for saudi arabia

The Complete Guide to the NEW Saudi Family Visit Visa

Recently, I invited my father to visit us in Saudi Arabia, but after asking people about it, I realized that the procedure to obtain a Family Visit Visa has changed so much that I had little idea how to apply for it. So, I decided to some research and went to speak to the experts at the local Saudi passport office in order to get acquainted.

What is a Saudi Family Visit Visa? A visit visa is intended for immediate family members based outside Saudi Arabia allowing them to visit their loved ones who are normally resident in the kingdom. Two visit visa options are available; Single entry or Multiple entry. The first is for up to 30 days ONLY and is not renewable. The second is for up to 90 days ONLY. Then, the family visitor must leave and can reenter the kingdom for a further 3 months, up to 4 times.

The Saudi visa application system was recently upgraded and streamlined. This means that all visas including the Family Visit Visa are now processed online, from start to finish. 

The Application Process- 6 Main Steps

The following shows the 6 main steps required to obtain the Family Visit Visa . These 6 steps are explained in a bit more detail in the article:

Step 2. Iqama Holder Takes the Form to Sponsor to Sign and Stamp and if needed to the local Chamber of Commerce

Saudi Arabia will now allow people with single-entry visit visas to remain in the kingdom for up to three months, compared to a month in the past.

The Council of Ministers announced on Tuesday that it had also approved the extension of the duration of stay for transit visas to 96 hours without any fee, with a validity of three months.

The kingdom had also recently updated its entry rules to make the country more accessible to visitors .

A decree signed by the country's Minister of Tourism in September will allow GCC residents to apply for e-visas through the dedicated online portal, www.visitsaudi.com/visa , and makes it easier for travellers from the UK, the US and the EU to enter Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia sets deadline for Umrah pilgrims to depart kingdom

Umrah visa duration will not be extended beyond 90-day period and cannot be converted

Dubai: The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah in Saudi Arabia has announced that Dhul Qadah 29, 1445 (June 6), will be the final day for Umrah pilgrims to leave the Kingdom, as part of the preparations for the upcoming Hajj season.

The ministry stated that the Umrah visa for foreign pilgrims has a validity of 90 days from the date of entry into Saudi Arabia.

The clarification came in response to numerous inquiries received through the ministry’s “Beneficiary Care” account on the X social media platform.

The announcement follows earlier reports that stated Dhul Qadah 15, 1445, as the last date for Umrah visa holders to enter Saudi Arabia this year. Additionally, it was clarified that the visa’s validity extends for three months from the date of issuance, not from the date of entry.

The ministry further emphasised that the Umrah visa duration will not be extended beyond the 90-day period and cannot be converted into another type of visa.

Applications for Umrah visas can be made through the approved electronic platforms for Umrah services, accessible at https://nusuk.sa/ar/partners.

This measure is intended to ensure the orderly and efficient flow of pilgrims to the holy cities of Mecca and Medina for the annual Hajj pilgrimage, drawing visitors from around the globe.

Four-day Eid-ul-Fitr holidays announced

Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has made important changes to Umrah visas for the Hajj 2024 season. The visa validity period now starts from Dhul Qadah 15 instead of Dhul Qadah 29, which helps make pilgrimages smoother. Umrah pilgrims must leave before Dhul Qadah 15, a change that’s two weeks earlier than before, making the pilgrimage process easier for those visiting Makkah and Madinah.

A significant change is that Umrah visas are valid for three months from the date they’re issued, not from when people enter Saudi Arabia. This change is part of the Ministry’s collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to improve the overall pilgrimage experience.

These updates are vital as Saudi Arabia gets ready to welcome pilgrims for the Hajj 2024 pilgrimage, showing the country’s dedication to ensuring a smooth and organized journey for everyone involved. Keep an eye out for more updates as the Hajj 2024 season gets closer.
