Saudi Family Visa for Yemeni Citizens and Residents
For Yemeni citizens and residents who wish to bring their family members to Saudi Arabia, the Saudi Family Visa offers a simple and reliable way to reunite with loved ones in the Kingdom. At Saudi Visa Agency, we manage the entire visa process, ensuring your family joins you in Saudi Arabia smoothly and in full compliance with all Saudi immigration regulations.
Saudi Arabia Family Visa
The Saudi Family Visa allows family members of Saudi residents or citizens to visit or live with their sponsors in the Kingdom.
There are two main categories:
Family Visit Visa: For short-term stays (typically up to 90 days, extendable in some cases).
Family Residence Visa: For long-term relocation under a Saudi resident’s sponsorship (Iqama).
Both visas require a Saudi sponsor—either a Saudi national or a foreign resident with a valid Iqama—to apply for MOFA approval before the family member can apply in Yemen.
Who Can Apply?
You can apply for a Saudi Family Visa from Yemen if:
You are a Yemeni citizen or foreign resident in Yemen.
You have a family member (spouse, parent, or child) legally living or working in Saudi Arabia.
Your Saudi sponsor has received MOFA authorization for your invitation.
You hold a valid Yemeni passport with at least six months’ validity.
Attestation and Legalization
Before submitting your application, all family-related documents must go through:
Attestation by the Yemeni Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and
Legalization by the Saudi Embassy (or its designated mission handling Yemeni applications).
Our team ensures all translations, attestations, and legalizations are completed correctly — saving you time and preventing delays.
