Saudi Arabia Family Visa
Types of Saudi Family Visas
1. Family Visit Visa
This visa allows short-term visits for family members living in Saudi Arabia. It’s ideal for spouses, children, or parents who wish to visit temporarily.
It is valid for up to 90 days per entry, extendable up to 180 days, depending on your Saudi sponsor’s approval.
2. Family Residence Visa (Iqama Dependent Visa)
This visa is for dependents of Saudi residents or citizens who plan to live in the Kingdom long-term.
Once issued, dependents can obtain their residence permit (Iqama) after arriving in Saudi Arabia.
Who Can Apply
The Saudi Family Visa is open to:
Chilean citizens whose immediate family member (spouse, parent, or child) works or resides legally in Saudi Arabia.
Foreign residents in Chile with a valid residence permit who have relatives in Saudi Arabia authorized to sponsor dependents.
Eligible family members include:
