Residency VISA amount refund

Post new topic

ikram1979

Greeting !! Recently i applied for residency VISA for my wife and son through ABSHER. But, unfortunately my sons name excluded from the list. I went to istiqdam office and they refused to do anything because application was online. Later again i applied VISA separately for my son with extra charge of 2000 SR. Now i got 2 VISA separately @ 4000 SR. Is there any way to get it refund ? Kindly advice.

Check moi dewan balance,  if the amount is there go for refund online from same bank account

ikram1979

ok..Thank you..But when i paid amount through Al Awwal bank and now same has been merged with SABB bank. So, is it possible to check from other bank account ?

mailmeksyed

No issues the merger bank will have the transactions details from acquisition bank.

But the fact is you need to have funds in passport deposit to claim refund.

ok.Thank you. i will check.

Do you get the visa number from mofa?

ikram1979

yes, i received VISA number. It seems no fund available  to be refund.

mmohsin32khan

it gives your from absher right? did you check it from mofa as well? i also got visa number from absher last week, but on mofa it is still not showing. could you please verify at mofa site as well visas.mofa.gov.sa

How can i enquire about it ? I am trying through this link : (https://visa.mofa.gov.sa) but it is asking Record number. What does it means ? Order number already i entered. In ABSHER, it is displaying Follow up number and Border number.

mmohsin32khan

you can see it by selecting option visa issued by mofa. enter the follow up number or visa number of absher in second option enter your iqama number to see, because mofa also issue separate visa number in 1 week time.

ikram1979

It shows no data "No results were found, please check the entered data"

But my issue date was 14/3/2021. Is it important to display on MOFA website ?

mmohsin32khan

it should appear, or you can call to mofa directly. I asked from one of my friend he said he send the visa number issued by moi for the stamping.

ikram1979

Ok. I also already sent MOI Visa number for stamping passport in my home country

mmohsin32khan

are you from pakistan?

ikram1979

No. From India. MOI VISA number will make any issue ? Please confirm, if any.

mmohsin32khan

i also dont know bro. let me know as well once your visa stamping done with moi visa number. thankyou.

Today i got mail from agency and asking original yellow paper. How to get it? Because Istiqdam office do not want to handle any online application as per my last experience.
