I am an accountant and aas per KSA rules i can apply visa online instead of visiting Istiqdam office but i am facing this message on absher while applying visa "Your application cannot be processed because it does not fulfill Istiqdam e-service business rules. You can book an appointment with Istiqdam and submit your occupation to be studied manually. To Book an appointment, please click here (Istiqdam appointments system)".

Appreciate if someone can guide.

Assalaamu Alaikum Akbar,

I am a Software Engineer by profession. I too faced same issue. Initially, I was told by my company to apply through Absher. After reporting the error i faced in Absher. Then my company collected below documents from me and issued My Family Residence Visa(Yellow Slip) Alhamdulilah!. I am now trying to get my family residence visa stamping done in india through VFS. Hope this post helps you.

Please find below list of documents required:

1. color photo of your iqama.

2. color copies of your passport

3. color copies of the passport for each family member

4. The original marriage contract

5 .The original educational attainment certified by the Saudi embassy in the country of origin of the certificate

6. Original birth certificate for children

7 .Payment of recruitment fees (2000) riyals

8. Determine the destination of arrival (which Saudi embassy will they go for visa stamping in india i.e Mumbai or New-Delhi)
