you should have two way ticket confirm with in visa validity period to travel other wise at airport they will not issue boarding pass, atleast have to show any dummy return confirmation ticket to travel

This is not necessary for the family visiting to Husband. This is required for other business / Umra etc. And the business people can have with multiple re-entry endorsed for 11 months when they come for business.

Visit visa needs two way tickets as far as my knowledge.

Hi,
I got a job offer and planning to move to Riyadh next month. My family is planning to join me in July. My company didn't provide the sponsorship to my family yet. Should I arrange for the sponsorship and visa for family before my arrival? Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Anpu.

No one in Saudi Arabia can arrange your family visa and other requirements before you enter in the Kingdom. After entering the Kingdom there are due process that should be completed before you request for your family VISA. First you have to complete basic requirements as per labour office and other requisite.

Thanks Sashidaran. But my local agent told me that the company can provide sponsorship for family and I can apply for their visiting visa with my work visa. I have written to my company HR and will update. Anpu
