But in this case what will happen to the documents like company letter, translated and attested degree, then attested and translated marriage certficate that was supposed to be presented to the istiqdam officer while applying for family visa?

  10. Dear Admin, did the condition of educational degree still exist or have been removed. As i knew from ISTEQDAM manager that "this condition will be no more effected". Is it ture ??. And why this condition is there to be live with your families?. Shariah asks for marriage contract to live with your wife not degrees or diplomas. My occupation is not according to my certificates. Because my line got changed according to situations in KSA. My company didn't haired me on my educational basis but my working skills. My salary is now 6,000+ , but because of this nonsense rule i can't keep my wife and children with me. We are living away from families for years and years. Isn't against the ISLAM and SHARIAH ???????????

  17. good day sir. I already submitted the online application of family visa through my MOI account. it was written to print the application and get it signed and stamped by the sponsor and it is done. next is to be approved by the COC.(First question sir, COC in my place here in Al Khafji? or COC in the eastern province in Dammam?) I already went to COC office here in my place in Al Khafji and they said it has to be in Dammam. second option the the application is to confirmed by sponsor through MOI electronic portal as applicable and instructed in the confirmation message.(second question sir, my sponsor should also have an MOI account for them to confirm my application? or we can use my own MOI account to confirm my application?) How about the original documents sir? How can i submit my original documents to them? Should I go to the jawasat office personally to submit it? or is it through my MOI account? how can i do that? And lastly sir, more or less how many days i should wait for the approval of my application? Please guide me sir. Thank you so much

    1. Your Chamber Of Commerce (COC) is where your sponsor is registered.
      Your sponsor may have separate account for MOI to confirm your application.
      As of now, No need to submit documents or anything, if you do online. MOI is approving applications same day or next day by sending approved SMS.

      Delete

    2. So it means that if they did not send any sms message it seems that my visa application was not approved? approved or disapproved they will send sms to me?

      Delete

    3. You can check your status by logging to your MOI abshir account. SMS will come after approved from COC.

  24. Thank you for your wonderfully informative article. I was able to successfully submit my application today. However, if you could clarify a couple of things it would be very helpful.
    1) How long after the CoC attestation does the MOI usually send an approval/rejection SMS?
    2) You have mentioned that all "formalities" must be completed within 30 days of submitting the application. What are these "formalities"? I was under the impression that once the application is attested, we just have to wait for MOI's SMS? Is there something else that we need to do? Like submitting any documents to the Istiqdam?

    Once again, thank you for your incredibly helpful article.
