visit visa application

Hi I have some questions for the visit visa.

1. Does my wife have to have a plane ticket having 2 way flights (with date of return to orig country) or she can come on just one way plane ticket?

2. After making the online application here, what are the next thing to do?

3. Lastly, if I want to extend her visit visa, do I have to come back to my company's main address? Ex. my company's H.O. is in Dammam, and I am working on a project in Jeddah, is it ok to process it thru Jawazat jeddah or I have to go back in Dammam?

Thank you so much for your help guys.

it is up to you u can buy a one way ticket or two way.
Cheak if your visa is accepted then just tell your wife to print it and get it stamped by the embassy
For extention you have to pay i guess 100 riyals for every month u extend

If she is coming on a visit visa then she must carry a two way ticket. If she is coming on a family visa then one way is ok. To extend the visit visa it will cost 100 SAR for a month, but what if they do not extend the visit visa on time and it gets expired? then you need to find some agents who can do that for you and they would charge 600-1500 a month. Sometimes rules here are tricky and brings lot of trouble for people. SO make sure you wont end up paying huge for every extension. As per the rules you can choose any jawazat office but not sure what hey gonna say.

Take print and after that take stamp and signature of your sponsor and go to chamber of commerce and take stamp there then only your application activate, after coc keep checking online status with your application and iqama number

hi msa27,

Can you tell me why it is rejected? Maybe because I have applied for 2 visit visas, one is 30 and 60.
please tell me what is the best thing to do?

Sometimes the reasons might make you laugh, so when they reject keep applying. One of my friend applied for 6 times and got rejected, the 7th time his family visit visa was accepted. Keep applying....

Hi, I created a post not too long ago. For ease, I'll paste it here:

Due to the lack of information available, I decided to post a summary of the different stages of my family visit application. The translation was done from Google translate.

1. Once the application is electronically submitted online on the MOFA website.
The following message appears alongside a summary of your application.

賷乇噩賶胤亘丕毓丞丕賱胤賱亘賵鬲氐丿賷賯賴丕賱賰鬲乇賵賳賷丕賲賳丕賱睾乇賮丞丕賱鬲噩丕乇賷丞丕賵噩賴丞丕賱毓賲賱
Please print the application and electronically ratification of the Chamber of Commerce or the employer

2. Paid the employer 25 SAR and a copy of the application, then they submitted the application to the Chamber of Commerce. The following message appears alongside a summary of your application:

(鬲賲丕賱鬲氐丿賷賯毓賱賶丕賱胤賱亘: ( 688888 ) 亘鬲丕乇賷禺 2013/12/29 (睾乇賮丞丕賱乇賷丕囟)
The ratification of the request: (688888) on 29/12/2013 (Riyadh Chamber)

3. Once the MOFA issue the visa, the following message appears, with a shortened summary of your application:

賱乇噩丕亍胤亘丕毓丞丕賱賲爻鬲賳丿賵賲乇丕噩毓丞賲賲孬賱賷丞丕賱賲賲賱賰丞賱廿氐丿丕乇鬲兀卮賷乇丞丕賱丿禺賵賱
Please print the document and audit representation Kingdom to issue visa

****
Next step, print the visa document, and take it to the embassy in the country of your residence. There, the visa will be issued in your passport.

Summary:

Application submitted online (Saturday 28th December 2013)
Next day employer submits to Chamber of Commerce (Sunday 29th December 2013).
MOFA issued visa within 6 days (Saturday 4th January)

Hope this helps.

There are many factors. The standing of your company in government records, your profession on Iqama, company color etc.
But on salary certificate: No --- You never have to show them that.

The bad thing: They don't tell you the reason.

This is what you'll see if visa is approved:

It i not related to salary certificate, its quite weird the way these people work for visa, i heard some got visa on first shot and some applied for more than 10 times. So it all depends on luck, the only thing you need see weather your work status allows you to apply visit visa or family visa or not. thats it, rest try your luck, but only the matter of time, for sure you will get the visa soon. Good Luck.

guys, i have a great news. my visit visa application was approved just today! 90days for my wife's visit.
it took me 5 tries. what we did on the last one was together with the online application and my iqama id, they have submitted it to MOFA personally. my friends wife who is a nurse in a government hospital, also applied for her mother's visit. that application only took 1 try. maybe because she was working for the government. but for private it is entirely different and much strict.

anyways, thanks for all of you guys. i really appreciate your help! god bless you all

Good discussions...

And regarding the two way ticket in case of visit visa, Travel agencies are using a trick; they will submit the two way ticket and they refund the return ticket after stamping the visa. And u can take the ticket only when they go back from KSA.
