Saudi Family Visit Visa for Dutch Citizens & Residents
The Saudi Family Visit Visa enables Danish nationals and residents to visit family members in Saudi Arabia. Each application is handled in line with MOFA and Saudi Embassy standards, ensuring fast approval and complete peace of mind.
Saudi Arabia Family Visit Visa
The Saudi Family Visa is authorized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) and finalized at the Saudi Embassy in Copenhagen.
Applicants may choose between two categories:
Family Visit Visa – For short-term visits to relatives in Saudi Arabia.
Family Residence Visa – For dependents joining a Saudi resident or citizen for long-term residence.
In both cases, an official sponsorship from a Saudi citizen or Iqama holder is required.
Who Can Apply from Denmark
Danish Citizens
Danish nationals can apply for a Saudi Family Visa if their immediate family member — such as a spouse, parent, or child — resides in Saudi Arabia under a valid Iqama or holds Saudi nationality.
Foreign Residents in Denmark
Foreign residents living in Denmark with a valid residence permit are also eligible to apply, provided their family member in Saudi Arabia is authorized to sponsor dependents or visitors.
Saudi Visa Agency assists both Danish citizens and residents in preparing, legalizing, and submitting all documents required for approval through the Saudi Embassy in Copenhagen.
Eligible Family Members
The Saudi Family Visa can typically be issued for the following relationships:
Spouse (husband or wife)
Parents or parents-in-law
Children or stepchildren
Brothers or sisters (for visit visas)
Dependents under legal guardianship
Each application is carefully reviewed in line with MOFA sponsorship regulations to ensure full compliance.
