Saudi Family Visa for Belgian Citizens & Residents
The Saudi Family Visit Visa makes it simple for people living in Belgium to visit their family members in Saudi Arabia. Our team manages the process from start to finish in line with MOFA and Saudi Embassy regulations, ensuring your visa is processed efficiently and without complications.
Saudi Arabia Family Visa
Types of Saudi Family Visas
1. Family Visit Visa
Designed for short-term family visits, this visa allows applicants to visit immediate family members such as spouses, parents, or children living in Saudi Arabia.
It can be issued as a single-entry or multiple-entry visa, depending on the sponsor’s request.
2. Family Residence Visa (Iqama-Dependent Visa)
This visa is for dependents of Saudi residents or citizens who wish to join their family for a long-term stay in the Kingdom.
Once issued, dependents can obtain their residence permit (Iqama) after arrival in Saudi Arabia.
Who Can Apply from Belgium
Belgian Citizens
Belgian nationals are eligible to apply if their immediate family member — spouse, parent, or child — is a Saudi citizen or a foreign resident living in Saudi Arabia with a valid Iqama.
Foreign Residents in Belgium
Expatriates holding a valid Belgian residence permit may also apply, provided their family member in Saudi Arabia is authorized to sponsor dependents or visitors.
Our consultants assist both Belgian citizens and foreign residents by preparing, attesting, and submitting all required documents to the Saudi Embassy in Brussels, ensuring a smooth and timely process.

FAQs
1. How long does the process take in Belgium?
Processing times vary but typically take 5 to 10 working days after all documents are completed and submitted to the embassy.

A Visit Visa is temporary (up to 90 days per entry), while a Residence Visa allows your dependents to live with you long-term in Saudi Arabia.
4. Do I need medical tests for a Family Visa?
Medical tests are only required for residence visas, not for short-term visit visas.
5. Where do I submit my application in Belgium?
Applications are submitted through the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Brussels or an authorized visa application center. Our team manages this process on your behalf.
