Saudi Family Visa from China
What Is the Saudi Family Visa?
A Saudi Family Visa allows eligible relatives to join immediate family members who live or work legally in Saudi Arabia, either for a short visit or to relocate long-term. There are two main types.
Family Visit Visa
The Family Visit Visa is for short-term stays, typically up to 90 days per entry. It can be extended up to 180 days in some cases.
Family Residence Visa
The Family Residence Visa is for families relocating to Saudi Arabia for long-term residence with their sponsor.
