What is the procedure for getting visa for a new born baby? I will be having my baby in May in the UK and want to know what I need to do to get her to Riyadh.

You just need to get passport for the baby or add her in the mothers passport. Since the baby is born outside KSA and mother & father are residents in KSA (I assume this) then no need for any procedures. The baby will get visa on entry at the airport and later you convert this into an iqama by paying SAR.2000/- the fees of visa and thats it. Of course all normal process of iqama will apply - for kids vaccination schedule from country, medical test here and the rest.

Thanks for the reply HRGuru!! Yes both of us are residents of KSA so I just need to get the baby's passport because uk does not allow endorsements on the mother's passport anymore.

Yes you can get visa on arrival since you and your wife are already residents in KSA. Once you get the visa on arrival - this will be a temp one issued for two months - you have to get iqama. For this you will approach your company HR / PR and pay SR.2000 fees (or the company if you have family status) and get the iqama done.

i just called the saudi embassy in london and they told me that i need to register online for the baby and pay the fees and then take  the following documents to the embassy and the visa will take three days.

Letter from husband's sponsor
Birth certificate for baby
mother's Passport
Mother's exit/re-entry and iqama copy
Father's iqama copy
Original passport for baby
Application form for baby
2 Photos (baby)
Register online to get electronic visa and pay fees

i'm a little confused how people have taken their newborns and gotten visa on arrival?

I got a visa for my baby from the Saudi embassy in uk... I gave all the documents to an agent in uk who got the visa stamped for me.

I suppose you already have your baby's passport. You just need to give all the documents mentioned in my earlier post and the visa is stamped within two or three days.

Lots of people told me that visas for newborns are given on arrival but when I called the Saudi embassy in uk they said that the visa has to be stamped beforehand.  I did not want to take the risk so I got the visa for my baby.

If you need the number for the agent let me know.
