Greetings... I'm Abdul Gaffar from India working in Saudia Arabia. I'm a house driver according to my iqama, but my sponsor placed me at his resort(istiraah) as a watchman(haaris).

I want to bring my wife to Saudia Arabia. Im am kindly requesting about the information about the procedure to bring the family. What role my sponsor has to play in this matter?

Hoping for your reply... Thank you

Hi Abdul

If you want your family to live with you in KSA, they will need a Residency Visa. If you want them to come visit, they will need a Family Visit Visa.

It is very likely that you will need your employer's assistance, since I know that you need an employer's letter to get a family visit visa.

Have a look at our Visas for Saudi Arabia page for more information.

The chances are that you will need to work through the Department of Foreign Affairs as well as with your employer, so it might be an idea to discuss this with them.

Best of luck,

Xavier
