Sending you this mail because you may remember me in your turn when you find this mail in your inbox.

*Update: The degree has to be attested by the MOFA (Saudi) for wife visa.

5) Company NOC letter in ARABIC (Original attested from Chamber) which should mentioned that they don't have any problem bringing your wife here, plus your salary, iqama number, occupation etc

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1) Your NIC Pak COPY

2) Your Wife NIC Copy (which have your name in husband column)

3) PLEASE PLEASE VERIFY YOUR NAME IN SAUDI PASSPORT COMPUTER SYSTEM THAT WETHER ITS SAME AS IT IS WRITTEN IN YOUR PASSPORT , Like in PAKI PASSPORT our NAMES are in ENGLISH so MAKE SURE its HAVE ENGLISH ENTRY in PASSPORT COMPUTER SYSTEM and for safe side add ARABIC AS WELL SAME AS IT IS YOU HAVE IN YOUR IQAMA. THIS IS THE HARDEST PART OF THIS PROCESS

FRIENDLY ADVICE

1) PLEASE BRING AS MUCH AS DOC YOU CAN, DONT PUT THEM IN FILE BUT PLEASE TRY TO GET AS MUCH AS STAMPS ON IT AND BRING IT WITH YOU WHEN YOU GO FOR APPLY

2) YOU WILL GET YELLOW SLIP PRINT OUT WHICH MEANS YOU GOT VISA AND YOUR WIFE HAS TO SHOW IN PAK SAUDI EMABSY THAT ORIGINAL SLIP BUT PLEASE PLEASE , THAT SLIP WILL NOT HAVE YOUR WIFE NAME BUT MAKE SURE CHECK YOUR IQAMA NUMBER, AND NAME ON IT WITH CORRECT SPEELING LETTER BY LETTER ALSO KEEP EYE ON KEYBOARD WHEN HE IS ENTRING YOUR WIFE NAME IN THEIR COMPUTER SYSTEM THAT WETHER HE IS TYUPING CORRECT AND COMPLETE SPEEL AS SHE HAVE IN HER PASSPRT

3) LAST THAT AS I SAID YOU WILL NOT FIND YOUR WIFE NAME IN THAT YELLOW SLIP BUT THERE IS COLUM THERE SAY RELATAION..... THEY PUT FOR ME SISTER :-) SO THIS MORNING I WENT TO CORRECT IT AND MADE IT ZOJAAA (WIFE)

 
One point missing,

Before all this you have to pay 2000SR government Visa fees to Riyadh Bank or Rajih Bank. They will give you one green or blue slip, PLEASE make thousand copies of it. bring it with you when you got to Visa Office, and don’t throw it even you get the visa because when your wife come to saudia and you try to put her name under your iqama then iqama staff may ask you this original green slip, they can’t check from their stupid system. If you lost it then you have to pay 2000SR again

GOOD LUCK ,
