Hi folks,

Wondered if anyone could help me out with this?

I want to get a Family Visit Visa (NOT residency) for my father and stepmother. I'm a UK citizen working in Saudi on a residency VISA (Iqama).

Firstly, is it possible since my stepmother is not a blood relative?

And secondly, if so, what is the procedure and documentation required
to complete this?

Regards

Dear burgess29,

I don't believe the lady's being your stepmother should present a problem (as long as she and your father are married Very Happy

.)
But to the best of my knowledge, this should be accomplished by your employer rather than on your own (at least that's how it was always handled where I worked.)
Also, you should be aware that it could take a while to get the visas, maybe quite a while. But if you've been in Saudi for any length of time, you're already aware of that.

Regards,
John
