Coming back to our topic, the first thing you should do is to check
your iqama profession. If it is mentioned as "Labor" or "Operator" or
"Secretary" or any other non-supervisory category, you can
straightaway assume that you cannot bring your family either on
visit or on permanent visa. But if you are qualified, i.e., a degree
holder and yet your iqama profession is in one of those mentioned in
the 'restricted' list, then the best way out is to get your profession
changed as mentioned here (please click here) and then apply for a
family visa.
Next, you must get the following certificates attested in your home
country.
Note that all of these have to be done in your home country. For
your degree certificate, you must first get the same attested by the
HRD Ministry or the Ministry of Education (where applicable) of your
home country's government. Once this is done, it has to be re-
attested by the Saudi Embassy in your home country.
Once all the above are ready, they have to be brought to the
kingdom by you. Now, you need two more documents. The first is
your salary certificate which has to be attested by the Chamber of
Commerce in your city. The next is an introduction letter from your
sponsor in Arabic, complete with all the details of your salary, your
position in the company, etc., in the company letter head with the
signature of your company's authorized representative and
company seal.
Approach any of the numerous agents here and get all the
processing done through them. This would save you time and
energy. However, you can also get the work done here yourself. In
that case, do the following.
Get an application form for permanent family visa and fill all the
details in Arabic. You may need an Arabic-speaking person next to
you to do this. Make sure that there are no mistakes. Next, submit
the following to the Passport Department ( Jawasat )in your city:
If you are going personally, keep ready with you the originals of the
following:
Ask them to submit copies of all of the above documents, along with
the original yellow slip and original passports of your wife and
children to the consulate of embassy of the Saudi Government in
your home country. Usually, if it is not Ramadan or Haj season, you
should get a permission to proceed for medical test within 2 weeks.
Once this is obtained, ask your family to get the medical test in the
authorized place (mentioned by the Embassy). This medical report
must be again submitted to the embassy. That's it. The visa would
be stamped on the passports of your family and they just have to
buy their tickets to join you in the kingdom.
Hope the above post was useful. Do let me know of the same. Your
appreciation is my motivation to write more.
