Kenyan visa for Ukraine passport with removal stamp?

Should I stamp visit visa on my passport before travelling from India to Saudi Arabia?

  • Normally for employment visa one has to go through medical check up formalities and stamp the visa in the passport at the Saudi Embassy in Delhi or Saudi Consulate in Mumbai. Only after this process they are allowed to go to Saudi for employment. I would lke to know whether the same rule is applicable for the one who goes to Saudi Arabia on a visit visa valid for 6 or 9 months. My friend says one can fly to saudi with out stamping the visa in the passport at the saudi embassy, IF he is going on a VISIT VISA. Please shed some light on this topic.

  • Answer:

    I assume that you are coming on a Business Visit Visa. if this is the case, their are 2 ways this is done. Your sponsor can apply to the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs for a Business Visit Visa for you, or they can send an official letter stamped by the chamber of commerce requesting the Saudi Consulate in Delhi or Mumbai to issue the visa for you. The first choice is more reliable. This visit visa can be a single entry or a multi entry visit visa, (This multi entry can be for up to 12 months.) This does not mean that you can stay for 12 months, but that you can leave to enter again during the 12 months. Usually each visit is for 30 days, after which you would have to leave then enter again. At times you can get an extension of the 30 day stay. In any way, your initial visa should be stamped from the Saudi Embassy and will NOT be given to you at the port of arrival.

Saudi Arabia does not issue visit visas unless you have a sponsor who is a Saudi citizen or a foreigner who holds a valid residence visa and is a close relative to you. There is also not such a thing like a visa for 9 months. A family visit visa is good up to 6 months. Your sponsor in Saudi has to apply for your visa and you will receive the visa in the embassy in your home country. Please scroll down a couple questions where I explained the whole procedere. Take care.
