Overview
Saudi Arabia Family Visit Visa from the UK
The Saudi Arabia Family Visit Visa allows you to visit close relatives who are living in Saudi Arabia. Your relative acts as your sponsor and issues an invitation letter, which is submitted alongside your passport, photographs and proof of your family relationship.
We stay up to date with the latest Saudi visa regulations and embassy requirements to minimise the risk of errors or rejections. With timely submission and transparent pricing, we make sure your visit to Saudi Arabia goes smoothly for you and your family.
Sponsor required: the Family Visit Visa is sponsored by your relative in Saudi Arabia. If you don't have a relative there, or you're travelling for tourism or business, see the Saudi ETA (British passport holders), the Tourism Visit Visa or the Business Visit Visa.
Step 1 · Required Documents

We need the following documents to verify your application and start the process.

Who can apply for a Saudi Arabia Family Visit Visa from the UK?
-
Do I need to attend a biometric appointment?
Yes. Family Visit Visa applicants attend a biometric appointment at the Saudi Visa Centre in London. We book the appointment for you and a member of our team meets you outside the centre on the day.
-
What does the £95 service fee cover?
Thorough document checking, completion of the online application on your behalf, booking your biometric appointment, and meet and greet assistance outside the Saudi Visa Centre. The Saudi government visa fee and mandatory insurance are paid separately, directly at the Saudi Visa Centre.
-
My child is travelling without one or both parents — what do I need?
If a child under 18 travels with only one parent, the absent parent provides a parental consent letter. If the child travels without either parent, both parents provide a notarised consent letter authorising the child's travel and sponsorship arrangement. We'll tell you exactly which letter applies to your case.
-
Can I work in Saudi Arabia on a Family Visit Visa?
No. The Family Visit Visa is for visiting relatives only. For employment you need a Saudi Work Visa and Iqama.
-
I hold a British passport — do I still need a Family Visit Visa?
Not necessarily. British passport holders can usually visit family in Saudi Arabia on the Saudi ETA, which needs no sponsor, no biometrics and is usually approved within hours. Contact us and we'll advise which route suits your visit.
