Hi  :)

This is an update of my family visit renewal. Hope it helps someone that may need it.

My husband paid SAR100 from his bank to MOI online. Thereafter, he went onto MOI Absher website and filled in my information. There were 4 steps. Now my visa is extended. I have printed the confirmation with all my details and keep it in my passport as I am not sure what will happen if a police officer checks.lol!

Dears,

i want to know when visa stump on Passport then how much time needed to travel because on Passport Visa they mention Valid 90 days and the duration of stay 90 days and what i understand is if the Visa is Valid for 90 days then you should be travel before 90 days but one my colleague told me that you have to travel with in a month when visa stamp on passport.

i ask one travel agent of my country he told me that travel with in a month is for umrah not for family.
for family you have a time for 90 days.

now i am confuse so much.

if anyone have authentic information in this regards please guide me.

Thank you

Hi all,
I’m on multiple entry visit visa. After 6 month of stay in KSA, I came back to India and planning to return to KSA after 2 months. Is there anything like I should return to KSA within 30 days or something like that?
Just wanted to know whether my visa will be canceled if I stay for 2 months in India.
Please help...

Hello Everyone!

Hope youre having a nice day. Just want to ask for your guidance with my current dilemma. I already have a job offer and a working visa for KSA. But due to Ramadan and vacation season, my working visa will most likely expire before all the documents/process are finished and be allowed to travel.

May i ask if there’s a way to extend the initial 90-day work visa validity? If not, whats my other option/s?

Thank you so much for your time! Peace!

My mother's visit visa going to expire after 5 days, so i have to renew the insurance as the previous insurance was from AXA , i contacted them and they have no online purchase and asked for many documents.

there are other insurance companies available for online policy but i have 2 queries:
1. do we need to obtain Visit visa extension insurance from same company purchased during visa issue?

2. While searching for other Insurance companies they ask for "E-Number (from MOFA" what is this ? how to find it?

thanks

sohail.pervaiz

is it possible to update passport information(Nakal Maloomat) online through Abshar ?

farazmustafa

You will need to visit the Jawazat Office near you once you renew your daughter's Passport to update the information on Absher. I would recommend you go with a Saudi Friend who can help you speak at Jawazat.

Dear Mr. Sohail, thanks for this tread. I have a typical query.
My family visit visa is  expiring on 25th Jul'20 (They have 1 year Multiple visit visa upto december'20).
I have expended there visit visa once in the month of April 27 (after 90 days stay) in MOI. Now there visit stay is valid upto July 25 (another 90 days stay)  t. Now do they have to exit and re-enter for further visa extension

Due to lockdown we are not able go out even to Baharin for Exit / Re-entry.

Can you please guide me, is it possible to extend the visit visa in MOI online (Absher payments) after 180 days of stay with exit ,will the system accepts.
Need your suggestion.

Thanks in advance
Regards
