Saudi Family Visa for Egyptian Citizens & Residents
The Saudi Family Visa enables Egyptian citizens and residents to join their family members who are living or working in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Every case is prepared and submitted in compliance with Saudi MOFA and Embassy regulations, ensuring prompt approval and peace of mind.
Saudi Arabia Family Visa
The Saudi Family Visa facilitates family reunification for Egyptian citizens and residents whose loved ones live or work in the Kingdom.
Applicants can apply for a Family Visit Visa for short stays or a Family Residence Visa for extended relocation, both of which are processed through the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Cairo upon receipt of a valid MOFA invitation.
Who Can Apply from Egypt
- Egyptian Citizens
Egyptian nationals may apply for a Saudi Family Visa if their immediate family member — spouse, parent, or child — resides in Saudi Arabia under a valid Iqama or holds Saudi nationality. - Foreign Residents in Egypt
Expatriates living in Egypt with a valid residence permit are also eligible to apply, provided their family member in Saudi Arabia is authorised to sponsor dependents or visitors.
At Saudi Visa Agency, we assist both Egyptian citizens and foreign residents in preparing, attesting, and submitting all required documents to the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Cairo, ensuring every application fully meets MOFA and embassy requirements for smooth approval.
