Hi,

Is is possible to get visa for Saudi, if the wife is bahraini n husband is not bahraini?

if yes from where

If someone has information regarding this, kindly share it

I know non-bahraini wife of bahraini husband can get visa for saudi, but what about vice-versa ?

Regards

Are you referring to visit visas for Saudi?

Haseeb91

Yes

You need to apply through VFS Tahseel office in BFH.   Theoretically, yes but it is arbitrary at times.  From no issues to rejections to requirement for sponsor i.e. wife to be with husband.

i was calling VFS Tahseel, but they are not picking the call

XTang

They almost never do :)

Better to send email (eventually gets replied) or go in person.

Hi; saw this post and checked VFS TASHEEL website about now… I think the visa fees for Escort are now around BD50.. has anyone acquired this visa???

@Enigma_j hi there, why do we have to apply through vfstasheel and not directly through the visitsaudi website? I just want to make sure I apply correctly It seems that applying through the visitvisa website is very easy and straightforward. However, when looking into the vfstasheel website, when i select escort visa, I have to attach an invitation letter to be able to proceed with the application. I am a US citizen and am married to a Bahraini. I think it makes sense to just apply like any other tourist through the visitsaudi website and get the visa. We plan to drive from Bahrain to Saudi. Hope to hear from others who have tried getting the visa.

As a US citizen, just go for a normal tourist visa.........much less hassle.
