Saudi Family Visit Visa for New York Citizens and Residents
Saudi Family Visa from New York
What Is the Saudi Family Visa?
A Saudi family visa allows eligible relatives to visit or live with a family sponsor in Saudi Arabia. The appropriate visa depends on whether the applicant plans a short-term visit or a long-term move.
Tasheera Services helps applicants check their sponsor’s authorisation, prepare supporting documents and coordinate the application steps.

2. Family Residence Visa
