    ONLINE:
    1- Go to https://visa.mofa.gov.sa/ and fill up application
    2- Make sure you write everything in Arabic except the name of the person you are inviting
    3- Go to Chamber of Commerce for validation (Tasdeeq) and next counter do activation (Tafeel)
    4- You DON'T have to go to Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) unless instructed to do so
    5- You maybe called to MOFA to present documents
    6- Wait for your visa, keep checking online (As of today, in Jeddah it is taking around 30 days to get a visa)

    THROUGH ISTIQDAM (RECOMMENDED):

    Istiqdam office gate opens at 7:30am
    You should go before 7:00am and write your name on the paper at the gate
    Officers start working around 8:15am
    If you go early, you should finish before 9:00am
