How to get an iqama for family members to live in KSA?

To apply for a family visa iqama for family members in Saudi Arabia, you will need to follow these steps:

1. The sponsor must have a valid iqama in Saudi Arabia.
2. The sponsor must create an account on the Absher portal.
3. The sponsor must login to their Absher account and select the “Family Member Services” tab.
4. The sponsor must select the “Iqama Issuance” service.
5. The sponsor must fill out the application form and upload the required documents.
6. The required documents are:
   • Passport of the family member (valid for at least 6 months)
   • Marriage certificate (if applicable)
   • Birth certificate (if applicable)
   • Police clearance certificate (if applicable)
   • Health insurance
   • A copy of the sponsor’s iqama
7. The sponsor must pay the application fee.
8. The application will be processed and the family member will be issued an iqama if their application is approved.

The required documents may vary depending on the relationship between the sponsor and the family member. For example, if the sponsor is the spouse of the family member, then only the marriage certificate is required. However, if the sponsor is the parent of the family member, then both the birth certificate and the police clearance certificate are required.

The application fee is SAR 300 for each family member. The processing time for the application is typically 2-3 weeks.

Here are some additional things to keep in mind when applying for a family visa iqama:

• The family member must be able to provide a valid address in Saudi Arabia.
• The family member must be able to provide proof of financial support from the sponsor.
• The family member must be able to pass a medical examination.
