 Posted: Tue Nov 17, 2015 10:54 am Post subject: Family visit visa for Americans |
 |
|
| I have heard of Americans who are able to get a 5 year multiple entry family visit visa for Saudi Arabia. But when I fill out the application on the MOFA website, the dropdown options don't give anything other than a 90 day single entry visa. Is there a different way to go about applying for the 5 year one? |

"Wasta" ? Do you work for ARAMCO ? The Military ? Do you have Saudi friends with significant connections ?
If there answers to these are "NO" then get back in line with the rest of us !
I had heard rumours and speculation about these visas but I suspect that you will have to make do with the ordinary 6-month multi. Enjoy. |

Maybe you should check with the source of that info.
See "Visit visas continue throughout year"; nationality doesn't seem to make a difference. |

The sources are people whose companies filled out the application for them, so they don't have any specific guidance on how to go about applying for it.
They aren't rumors. I've seen people get them. It may be that it was simply wasta / leverage of the employer, but I want to make sure it's not some other issue. |
