  • Delay in visit visa - It is OK now.

    Dear friends, have patience!

    MoFA's processing is delayed due to unprecedented huge number of applicants in view of changed professions after Nitaqaat. If you follow the procedures correctly and in time, you will get the visa in time. Those who intend bringing their family should apply at least three months' in advance. The visa issued by MoFA will be valid for 3 months for stamping and the stamped visa has 30 days validity.

    I applied for my wife and daughter on 21 Jan and did the CoC activation in two days. Within a week MoFA asked for verification of documents (مراجعة فرع الوزارة بجده بتذكرة المراجعة وأصل الطلب و الإقامة وصورة منها) which I did on 29 Jan. Immediately the status was changed that MoFA has received all requested documents (تم استلام الطلب). It remained the same position until 03 March afternoon when it was changed to الطلب تحت الاجراء which meant my request was under process. After an hour, the visa was finally issued (مستند تأشیرة - الرجاء طباعة المستند ومراجعة ممثلیة المملكة لإصدار تأشیرة الدخول). I praise God for timely issuance of the visa because the visit was for specific dates for attending some urgent need in the family of my son.

    Thank you
