Saudi Family Visa Requirements: A Guide for Romanian Citizens and Residents

Saudi Arabia Family Visa

The Saudi Family Visa is designed for family members of Saudi citizens and residents who wish to join or visit their relatives in the Kingdom.
It is issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) and finalized through the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Bucharest.

Applicants can choose between two main categories:

Family Visit Visa – For short-term visits to family members in Saudi Arabia (single or multiple entry).
Family Residence Visa – For dependents of Saudi citizens or residents relocating to the Kingdom for long-term residence.

Both visa types require an official sponsorship from a Saudi citizen or resident holding a valid Iqama.

Who Can Apply from Romania

Romanian Citizens

Romanian nationals can apply if their immediate family member — such as a spouse, parent, or child — lives or works in Saudi Arabia and holds a valid Iqama or Saudi nationality.

Foreign Residents in Romania

Foreign nationals residing in Romania with a valid residence permit may also apply, provided their family member in Saudi Arabia is legally authorized to sponsor dependents or visitors.

Our team assists both Romanian citizens and foreign residents with the end-to-end family visa process, ensuring compliance with MOFA and embassy standards.
