Hajj Season

The Hajj season refers to the period between the first of Ramadan and the first of Safar. If you wish to apply for a family visit visa for your relatives, be sure to do so before the start of Ramadan. Applying during the Hajj season is a common reason for the rejection of a family visit visa application for Saudi Arabia.

Relationship with the applicant

There are certain relationships listed on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website that are eligible for a family visit visa. These relationships are:

  • Spouse/Husband. Children. Parents.
  • In-laws.
  • Brother and his family (wife and children).
  • Sister and her family (husband and children).
  • Sister-in-law (spouse's sister).
  • Brother-in-law (spouse's brother).
  • Grandparents.

Another significant reason for the rejection of family visit visas to Saudi Arabia is that people apply for visas based on relationships other than those listed. If you apply for a family visit visa for a relative other than those specified, it is likely that the application will be rejected.
