Saudi Arabia Family Visa
What Is a Saudi Family Visa?
The Saudi Family Visa is issued to allow the immediate family members of Saudi residents or citizens to enter and stay in the Kingdom.
There are two main types of family visas:
Family Visit Visa – for short-term stays, typically up to 90 days (extendable).
Family Residence Visa – for long-term relocation under a Saudi sponsor’s Iqama.
Both types require the Saudi-based sponsor to apply for MOFA authorization before the family member applies in Tunisia.
Who Can Apply?
You can apply for a Saudi Family Visa from Tunisia if:
You are a Tunisian citizen or legal resident.
You have a family member (spouse, parent, or child) living or working in Saudi Arabia with a valid Iqama or Saudi ID.
Your Saudi sponsor has obtained MOFA authorization for the invitation.
Attestation and Legalization
Before submission to the Saudi Embassy, official documents such as marriage and birth certificates must go through:
Attestation by the Tunisian Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Legalization by the Saudi Embassy in Tunis
Our team ensures your documents are accurately prepared, translated, and attested to meet Saudi government standards.
