    asalaamualykum,

    First Time:
    i applied online via " http://visa.mofa.gov.sa " , then did stamping at chamber of commerce in Khobar, waited 10-12 days, after status update it showed "Names Of Visitors Should Match Passport", i guess since i had written there names in Arabic, which didn't match the names written on my passport in English.

    Second Time:
    i applied for second time via " http://visa.mofa.gov.sa " corrected the names to English, and got it stamped at COC Khobar, now after 5 days its showing "تعتذر الوزارة عن تحقيق الطلب " which means "Ministry is Not Able To Process the request".

    can anyone please guide me what could be the possible reason for rejection the second time.

    also, please advice should the names of visitors (my parents) match my passport word to word or there is some flexibility, i am asking this since there is spelling difference in my Passport and there Passport.my fathers name Mohammad is spelled as Muhmad in my Passport, will it make a difference.

    please let me know what is the exact procedure to apply, and what are the things that i could have missed or erred while filling the form, and what should i do next, fill a new request or ? .

    i would like to mention 4 months ago i changed my Mihnah (profession) to "Fani Hasib Aali" i.e: Computer Technician.

    "Al-Hussain advised expatriates to abide by the Kingdom’s rules and regulations."

    Check below link about Kingdom rules and regulations and its clearly says that visit visa cannot be changed into residents visa and if it is on conditions it may be only for parents who are too old or alone...

    Is it allowed to change a visit visa into a residency visa?
    Regulations do not allow that.

    A visit visa can be converted into a permanent residency permit for a close family member of an expatriate worker under special conditions, a senior Passport Department official said during a phone-in service with Arab News readers on Wednesday.
    “Yes, this is possible,” said Col. Mohammed Al-Hussain, spokesperson of the department. “However, such a request has to be approved by the Interior Ministry.”
    In the two-hour phone-in with callers, he also said it was possible for expatriates to place their elderly parents on their iqamas.
    The Kingdom currently issues visit visas for expatriates’ spouses, children and parents of their spouses.
    A caller from Riyadh wanted to know if his wife, who is in the Kingdom on a visit visa, could get it converted into a permanent residency permit or iqama.
    Al-Hussain advised expatriates to abide by the Kingdom’s rules and regulations.
    One caller asked Al-Hussain to explain the requirements needed for exit/re-entry visas.
    “Everything is now online. There is no need to produce the exit/re-entry document at the immigration counter as was the case in the past.”
    The caller then asked about the two types of online services — Abshir for companies with less than 100 employees and Muqeem for firms with more than 100 employees. The caller, a Pakistani expat, said the exit/re-entry papers issued under the Muqeem program are widely accepted at Pakistani airports but there are difficulties with the Abshir service.
    The caller said while no documents are required at the Saudi immigration counters, back in Pakistan this was not the case. “When I was traveling back from Islamabad, I was asked to produce the exit/re-entry document,” he said.
    Al-Hussain said he could not speak about other countries but “as far as we are concerned we don’t need the exit/re-entry papers anymore. Everything is online. Your passport is enough.”
    He said those expatriates who don’t have anyone to look after their parents when they reach the age of 60, can approach the “Qanoon” and “Tadrees” (legal and studies) cell at the Passport Department with their case. “The Passport Department will rule on such cases by looking into all aspects of the request and their genuineness,” he said.
