    Hi, I'm visiting my parents in Jeddah next month. Do I really need to apostille my birth certificate?
    You · 3m
    Yes, the embassy requires an apostilled proof of kinship for family visits. Upload your birth certificate and sponsor invitation and I'll confirm everything is embassy-ready today.

    Family relationship documents

    Family relationship documents matter for Saudi Family Visit Visas.

    Saudi Family Visit Visa applications depend on accurate supporting documents that prove the family relationship. APVI reviews those documents before submission so preventable errors do not delay the process.

    Apostilled proof of kinship

    Family relationship documents, such as marriage or birth records where applicable, must be apostilled before submission.

    Invitation-related document review

    APVI reviews the family visit documentation required for the Saudi visa process before embassy submission.

    Passport and application review

    APVI reviews your passport, visa application materials and supporting documents for completeness.

    Embassy submission support

    Once your file is complete, APVI submits your application directly to the embassy — in most cases without requiring an in-person appearance.

    Built for family visits

    Designed for U.S. families visiting loved ones in Saudi Arabia.

    The Saudi Family Visit Visa is for applicants visiting family in the Kingdom. APVI supports every family profile with document-level review.

    What we'll need

    Saudi Family Visit Visa requirements.

    Invitation, apostilled proof of kinship and host residency proof. APVI reviews every document before embassy submission.

    Most recent, physical passport book with at least 6 months of remaining validity beyond your travel date and two blank visa pages.
    Applicants traveling on a non-U.S. passport must provide proof of U.S. residence: a valid Green Card, student visa or work visa accepted by the consulate.
    Downloadable Saudi visa application and declaration form, typed in all fields, printed and signed by the applicant.
    Color photo taken within the last 6 months, white background, full face visible, meeting Saudi consular specifications.
    Your Saudi host must provide an electronic invitation approved by Saudi authorities and made out to the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Washington, DC.
    For Saudi citizens, provide a copy of the information page of the host's passport. For non-Saudi hosts, provide the Iqama copy.
    Proof of your family relationship to your host must be apostilled. Spouses use the marriage certificate; children use the birth certificate.
    If only one parent is traveling with a minor child, a signed and notarized consent letter from the non-traveling parent is required.
    If you currently hold a valid Saudi visa of a different type, complete the sample cancellation letter provided by APVI.
    Once all documents are uploaded, sign your APVI requirement checklist and upload it as the final item.

    • Apostilled proof of kinship review
    • Invitation-related document review
    • Secure document upload
    • Prepaid FedEx shipping

    • Real-time status updates
    • Family-focused support from start to finish
    DIY vs. APVI

    Avoid embassy rejections, and protect your family travel plans.

    Saudi Family Visit Visa rejections almost always trace to an invitation mismatch or a missing kinship apostille. Our specialists catch these before submission.

    Without APVI

    The DIY path

    • Unclear family document requirements
    • Risk of missing or incomplete kinship proof
    • Confusion about originals versus copies
    • Embassy submission uncertainty
    • Delays caused by incomplete paperwork
    With APVI

    The APVI path

    • Specialist review before submission
    • Apostilled kinship document guidance
    • Secure upload and document review
    • Direct embassy submission
    • Dedicated support for family travelers
