Jeddah, Oct 22: Newborns of expatriate residents in Saudi Arabia are allowed to enter the Kingdom without having to obtain a visa in the parent’s home country, the General Directorate of Passports said on Saturday.
The child will be issued a visa upon arrival in the Kingdom, subject to certain conditions, according to comments by the Directorate that were published in 3alyoum news site.
"A visa for the child will be issued at the point of entry on arrival, provided the newborn has an independent passport and that the parents are residents in the Kingdom — where the wife is dependent on her husband,” the Directorate said.

Can you please confirm this that below 12 months age infant is allowed in this pandemic situation or connect me to that immigration officer?
My baby has turned 15 months and I have submitted her passsport twice for visa stamping however it got declined all the times. The reason they said is visa document required. I tried submitting the visa application online on moi portal but I am getting message “ visit Isteqdam office” . I don’t know what to do as I am here in India.
Will my baby get on arrival visa?
Please advice
Can I bring my baby 23 months old on arrival visa or I should go to stamping
I have recently applied for a permanent visa for ksa. However I dont have iqama yet. I can only get the iqama once I reach there. If I travel along with my infant baby, does the baby need a separate visa stamped on the passport or baby can travel on mother’s visa?
I can travel with my 10 month baby from ndiato Saudi Arabia?
only for passport no visa.
Dear Mohammed Waheed,
I checked with an immigration officer in KSA, and the age limit for Visa on Arrival for infants is 12 months subject to parents having valid Iqama, post that age a visa should be stamped in home country to travel.
Not sure if they are allowing this during pandemic, if any one came thru this way please advise.
Is this still available during this covid pandemic..?
What requirements to be shown in Indian airport??
Up to what age of child visa upon arrival will be issued in the kingdom?
