Hello. I hope someone can assist please, husband started working in Riyadh at the beginning of August, we now want to apply for a residency Visa for me and the kids to go over. Apparently he needs to do it on his side. Can he do it online? If so, where? Or does he need to go to an embassy or something? If so, where?
Much appreciated.

He needs only to visit the website of the Ministry of Interior, KSA. then follow the steps to send you a family visa to come to Saudi Arabia. No embassies visits are needed at all.

FYI, To apply for the family visa he must have a valid Iqama(Resident ID) along with a profession(Profession mentioned in his resident Id) which allows him to apply for the visa.

Yes, he received his Iqama about 2 weeks ago, so he has that. Thank you so much.

He need to book an appointment with istikdaam office through absher. Then on date of appointment he need to submit all necessary documents as mentioned on the form. Better to go to some office near istigdaam to take guidance. Process is easy but will take a month
