I've been reading this forum and reading information and latest updates re: visa process are all great...very informative and helpful.

I am wondering if there are travel insurance fees for a family resident visa? Any idea how much is the average cost?

For resident visa no insurance fee.

In Philippines its around 3500 to 5000 pesos per person. So around 80 to 100 US Dollar for family visit visa only.

Yes, it is mandatory to have travel insurance covering CV19 for permanent family resident visa bound for KSA. P7,470 is the cost of travel insurance covering CV19 per dependent.

Thank you for the information

Hi Guys,

My wife is going to VFSÌý Manila next week to submit an application for a permanent family visa in Saudi Arabia as soon as she completes her medical test.

Do you know if VFS requires the Arabic translation of the attested Degree and Mariage Contract?

Please help..thank you....

Sir, as far as i know all documents specially marriage contract should be in a red ribbon authenticated and translated in arabic.

No Arabic translation needed sir but make sure that your MC has been attested by Saudi Embassy thru East West Placement Agency. No need for her degree certificate as she is holding a dependent/resident visa and not working visa. It will save your time and money. Good luck.

Thank you for your swift response.Ìý The MC was already attested byÌý Saudi Embassy thru East West when we applied Family visit visa back in 2018. I believe the red ribbon is still valid.

Yes, I was told that her degree certificate is not needed. However, they did ask for my own degree certificate when I initially applied for a permanent visa here in Saudi....

Hopefully, visa stamping in VFS Manila will be good...Thank you...

Do you have VFS contact details? I just wanna make sure if it is really required or not.....
Thank you...

Hi Sir,

My wife went to Angelus Medical Clinic for a medical test.
I read a post recently from this threaded message and I saw that this clinic is on the list.
They really are accomodating and responsive to queries on text.

Good evening to all,

Yes, it is on the generic list but not required for dependent/resident visa. Good luck.

Noted sir. Thank you for letting me know. One more thing, it is also mentioned in the form that there will be a mandatory insurance fees to be collected on the day of the appointment. Is it true?

Yes sir, it will be collected at the VFS along with the other fees. Although in our case, we processed both resident and visit visas for our older children. We only paid medical insurance for the visit visa. This was in Nov 2021 so I don't know if changes have made on its policy.

YES, that is correct. Cost for VFS Tasheel Medical Insurance fee is P1,070.00. To be paid as part of medical fee for Visa processing for dependent permanent family visa (iqama).

Travel Insurance covering CV19 cost P7,470.00 per dependent permanent family Visa bound for KSA also required.

I just want to update you that the visa stamping for the residence visa application for my wife has been completely processed. It was done within 2 days only.Ìý There are no fees collected for medical insurance and CV19 insurance.

Thanks to this forum and to those who really shared their thoughts and response to my concerns.

Hello. How can we process the working visa through VFS? I have been hired directly from an employer in KSA before I went on my final exit.

Hi, please visit VFS website and get ready of all the necessary documents. Same process except for the medical since it is more rigorous for working visa. Good luck.

Hello. I tried to fill out Enjaz application form online, as I already received the visa document from MOFA. My dilemma is I cannot continue in saving my applicatiom because Saudi Mission in Manila is not available in their drop down option. I am trying to bring my son and my mother here in Saudi Arabia for a Family visit.

Am I the one who will fill this up? Or as I understand in what I read in VFS website, it will be filled up in their office?

Thank you in advance.

Hi, all forms will be filled out during your VFS appointment except the form which you need to fill out online for booking. Just prepare all the documents as listed on the website. Medical exam is not needed for visit visa but yellow fever and poli vaccines are required prior to VFS appointment. Vaccination will be done in BoQ website but to be booked and paid separately. Although, you can all have the vaccines done during the first visit.

Since we are still in the pandemic situation, appointment booking is quite difficult (Apostille and vaccination). Good luck.

Another question regarding DFA authentication. I'm going to bring my son and my mother, so am I only required to have my son's BC and my own BC to be red ribboned? To prove kinship according to the document requirements of VFS.

I think Yes, as BC will prove the kinship but I hope you can get some replies from those who did visa processing for their parents, just to make sure.

Any body has an idea if only jeddah istiqdam is not allowing nurses especially female to apply for family permanent or dependent visa or the entire Kingdom. Thanks

Visa policy is the decision of KSA government and not by one area/city alone, so I think it applies Kingdom wide. Kindly verify your visa type from your HR as most companies are issuing "Single" visas to female employees particularly those in medical related professions.

Hi. Regarding International Vaccination Certificate, BOQ does not offer vaccine for meningococcal meningitis. Only polio and yellow fever. Where could we possibly take this? Thanks

It is simply because only yellow fever and polio vaccines are needed for visit visa if you're coming from the Philippines.

Hello po, i just wanna ask if the children 8yearsOld must be vaccinated too for yellow fever and polio vaccine for processing visit visa in saudi? Thank u
