Saudi Family Visa for Swedish Citizens and Residents
Saudi Family Visa from Sweden
Types of Saudi Family Visa from Sweden
1. Family Visit Visa
Ideal for short-term family visits, allowing applicants to stay with relatives in Saudi Arabia for a limited period. The visa may be issued as single-entry or multiple-entry, depending on the MOFA authorisation.
2. Family Residence Visa
For dependents of Saudi citizens or residents (Iqama holders) relocating to Saudi Arabia for long-term residence. After arrival, dependents can apply for their Iqama (residence permit) in the Kingdom.
Both visa categories require official sponsorship from a Saudi citizen or resident holding a valid Iqama authorised to sponsor family members.
Who Can Apply for a Saudi Family Visa from Sweden?
Swedish Citizens
Swedish nationals can apply if their immediate family member (spouse, parent or child) is a Saudi national or a foreign resident living in Saudi Arabia under a valid Iqama.
Foreign Residents in Sweden
Non-Swedish nationals holding a valid Swedish residence permit can also apply, provided their family member in Saudi Arabia is eligible to sponsor dependents or visitors.
Our consultants assist both Swedish and foreign residents in preparing, attesting and submitting all documentation through the Saudi Embassy in Stockholm, in full compliance with embassy and MOFA regulations.
