Saudi Family visit visa
Husband and I lived in Saudi and my parents want to come visit us. Does anyone know or have any experience of applying for a visit visa for parents when they don't live in their country of birth? My parents live in the US but are originally from the UK. Would they need to submit their documents to the Saudi Embassy in the UK or could they apply through the one in Washington?
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the quick reply. That's a relief! Didn't fancy sending documents to the UK from the US

Haven't started the process yet as they aren't planning to visit until May. Do you think I should apply soon or will the visa expire before they travel?

They will probably get a 3 month single entry - 6 month, if they are lucky...and a multiple entry if they are really unlucky.

Thanks guys
there should be no problem to apply it now and get the approval first or sometimes late in march, however the visa days will not count till they've already entered the kingdom. Moreover, you could extend it if you wanted.

Once issued - they have to use it within three months.
Once in KSA, the length of stay is usually fixed, 30/60/90 days.
Don't apply for it too early if they are coming in May. I'd suggest start the process around mid March time.

Re: Saudi Family visit visa
In all seriousness is there. Multiple entry visa for families? We wanted to do a trip outside the Kingdom but was going to tag it on the end their visit as we didn't think they would get back in
