Saudi Family Visa for Pakistani Citizens and Residents
Saudi Family Visa from Pakistan
A Saudi Family Visa allows immediate family members, such as a spouse, children or parents, to visit or live with a relative who is legally resident in Saudi Arabia. There are two main types.
Family Visit Visa
The Family Visit Visa is for short-term stays, typically valid for up to 90 days. It can be extended to 180 days, subject to approval.
Family Residence Visa
The Family Residence Visa is for families settling in Saudi Arabia long-term with their sponsor.

Pakistani citizens and foreign residents of Pakistan can apply if their sponsor in Saudi Arabia holds a valid Iqama and meets the minimum salary and profession criteria for family sponsorship. The visa suits:
- Professionals in Saudi Arabia arranging travel or relocation for a spouse, children or other eligible dependents
