Saudi Family Visa for Norwegian Citizens and Residents
Saudi Family Visa from Norway
Types of Saudi Family Visa from Norway
The Saudi family visa is issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) in Saudi Arabia and processed through the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Oslo. There are two main types:
- Family visit visa: for short-term visits to family members in Saudi Arabia, single or multiple entry, typically valid for up to 90 days.
- Family residence visa: for dependents of Saudi residents or citizens relocating to live in the Kingdom long-term.
Both categories require sponsorship by a Saudi citizen or a resident holding a valid Iqama.
Who Can Apply for a Saudi Family Visa from Norway?
- Norwegian nationals with immediate family members (spouse, parents or children) living in Saudi Arabia under a valid Iqama or Saudi citizenship
- Foreign residents in Norway with a valid residence permit, whose family members in Saudi Arabia are legally authorised to sponsor dependents or visitors
Our team ensures all applications meet MOFA and Saudi Embassy requirements for smooth and timely processing.
Which Family Members Can Apply for a Saudi Family Visa?
A Saudi family visa may be issued for:
- Spouse (husband or wife)
- Parents or parents-in-law
- Children or stepchildren
- Brothers and sisters (for visit visas)
- Legal dependents or guardians
Each case is reviewed carefully to ensure the sponsor and applicant meet Saudi visa eligibility criteria.
