Cost of visa to Bring South African family to Saudi

Post new topic

Hi, I'm a female English teacher in Dammam. I really want to bring my husband and children soon (to live, not just visit). Please can anyone give me info about cost and procedure. What is the difference in cost for the permanent visa and visit visa? I'm South African national, so I believe the cost is 2000SAR, but is this per person or per family? It's really hard to find basic info on the MInistry website...

Hello. Does your visa allow you to sponsor your husband and family. If so it's not an issue. The 2000 is the deposit and individual Visa fees applies in your country.

That's all I can help you with
