Saudi Family Visa for Venezuelan Citizens and Residents
Saudi Family Visa from Venezuela
What Is the Saudi Family Visa?
A Saudi Family Visa allows eligible relatives of people living or working legally in Saudi Arabia to join them in the Kingdom, either for a short visit or to live there long-term. There are two main types.
Family Visit Visa
The Family Visit Visa allows short-term visits to family members living in Saudi Arabia. It suits spouses, children, parents and siblings visiting temporarily. It is valid for up to 90 days per entry and can be extended up to 180 days with sponsor approval.
Family Residence Visa (Iqama-Dependent Visa)
The Family Residence Visa is issued to dependents who plan to live in the Kingdom long-term. After arriving in Saudi Arabia, dependents obtain their residence permit, known as an Iqama, through the relevant Saudi authorities.
Who Can Apply for a Saudi Family Visa from Venezuela?
Venezuelan citizens can apply if an immediate family member, such as a spouse, parent or child, lives or works legally in Saudi Arabia.
Foreign residents of Venezuela can also apply if they legally reside in Venezuela with a valid residence permit and have a relative in Saudi Arabia who is authorised to sponsor dependents.
Eligible family members include:
- Spouses
- Children and stepchildren
- Parents and parents-in-law
- Brothers and sisters (Family Visit Visa only)
