How to get a family visit visa in Saudi Arabia without a Kafeel: Many people are often troubled by Saudi visit visas. They want to obtain a family visit visa, but their sponsors do not cooperate with them. In such situations, they cannot do anything, and they remain constantly worried. So, I will explain to you how to get a family visit visa in Saudi Arabia without a Kafeel. Obtaining a family visit visa is a detailed process, but first, let me tell the personal visit visa holders that if your personal visit visa was rejected, you can submit a fresh application through the official KSA VISA platform, and, God willing, your visa will be stamped, provided your invitation and documents are complete and meet the embassy’s requirements.

Those who are sitting with visas but are afraid because they did not submit them are not getting their visas stamped because they were rejected. There were issues at the embassy, and there were many other problems. So, if you still have your visa document, check its validity period and submit it to the embassy or Tasheer center before it expires, and, God willing, you can get your visa stamped. But make sure you have all the documents required by the embassy or Tasheer center — including the visa document and your sponsor’s iqama copy — these things must be in your possession. If you have collected the fee for the visa, submit it.
Now, let’s move on to the family visit visa. If your sponsor company in Saudi Arabia does not cooperate with you, there is a solution. How is the solution? The solution is to obtain the visa from abroad. How to get a family visit visa in Saudi Arabia without Kafeel is a common concern. How is the visa obtained from abroad? Many people get worried about this. They say that if they get a visa from abroad, it will have an impact on their sponsor company or they might take action against us, or we will have to wait for a long time to get the family visa. There is a lot of confusion in this regard. Please note: since February 2025, Saudi Arabia issues only single-entry visit visas — including family visits — to nationals of Pakistan and 13 other countries; the one-year multiple-entry option is currently suspended.
Let me explain it in simple terms. When you get your ID card or passport made within your country, you are given some forms by the passport office or ID card office. You sign those forms, attach your photos, and provide your fingerprints. After that, you take those forms to a certain grade officer for stamping and verification. The purpose of going to this officer is that he has the authority. The officer can verify it. They go to the government school’s headmaster, and they do not go to another person. Many other institutions are involved, which have educated and literate staff.
The authority is up to a certain grade. These people can verify it. Similarly, in Saudi Arabia, if your sponsor company does not provide you with a family visit visa, there are other people who have this authority to issue you a family visit visa. The requirement of the sponsor company does not increase. Your family visit visa is issued on your iqama (residence permit), and this is done through the official visa platform. Note that the online application must be electronically attested — usually through your employer’s Chamber of Commerce attestation — so some employer cooperation is still needed. So, if you are not getting a visa or there is any issue with the sponsor company, contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs visa services or your Tasheer center for guidance. Inshallah (God willing), they will provide a solution to your problem.
The fees for personal visit visas and family visit visas can differ, and the total usually includes the visa fee, the Tasheer center service fee, and mandatory medical insurance. Fee amounts change from time to time, so always confirm the current fee on the official KSA VISA platform or with the Tasheer center before you pay.
