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.

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.

Why APVI

Saudi Family Visit Visa requirements need to be right.

Since 2003, APVI has processed hundreds of thousands of expedited visas. Family visit invitations and kinship documents each carry strict formatting rules. Our Saudi Desk catches issues before the embassy ever sees your file.

  • Invitation-related document review
  • Secure document upload
  • Prepaid FedEx shipping
  • Direct embassy submission
  • Dedicated APVI specialist assigned to every order
  • 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
