How Indian Families Are Contributing to Saudi Arabia's Family Life And Schooling Growth

Why a Saudi family file should not be assembled in a hurry

Saudi Arabia's family visa for sponsor dependants is processed by Saudi MOFA in Riyadh and is reviewed against strict documentation standards. The Saudi Embassy attestation in New Delhi, the certified Arabic translation by listed translators and the post-arrival MOFA ratification are all sequential. Errors at any one stage push the file back by weeks. Marriage certificate, birth certificate of every child and the sponsor's iqama and salary certificate carry the file.

The pieces that go wrong most often are inside the marriage certificate. Many Indian states issue marriage certificates in regional language or in handwritten registers; Saudi MOFA expects either bilingual English-Arabic or a clean English version that can be translated to Arabic by a listed translator. Spelling between the marriage certificate, the passport and the iqama must match.

What this kind of file usually carries

• Marriage certificate (registered, with registrar seal)
• Birth certificate of each child (full version)
• Passport of every family member with at least eight months validity
• Sponsor's iqama, salary certificate and accommodation proof
• Certified Arabic translation of the marriage and birth certificates
• Recent family photographs

Where SiZA Global fits in this preparation

We handle the India side: pre-attestation document review and reissue, MEA attestation, Saudi Embassy attestation in New Delhi, certified Arabic translation by listed translators and tracked return of originals. The Saudi family visa decision, the MOFA ratification in Riyadh and the medical fitness step belong to the Saudi side. We do not promise outcomes there.

FAQs

Why are Indians moving to Saudi Arabia for family life and schooling opportunities?

Saudi Arabia's family visa for dependants of an employed sponsor is processed by Saudi MOFA against strict documentation standards. The Saudi Embassy attestation in New Delhi and the certified Arabic translation by listed translators are central to a clean file.

Which documents may Indians need before moving to Saudi Arabia?

A Saudi family file usually carries the registered marriage certificate, birth certificate of each child, passport of every family member, sponsor's iqama, salary certificate and accommodation proof, certified Arabic translation of the civil documents and recent photographs.

Can SiZA Global help with apostille, attestation or translation?

Yes. We process MEA attestation, Saudi Embassy attestation in New Delhi, certified Arabic translation by listed translators and pre-attestation document reissue where the certificate is in the wrong format. We do not run the Saudi family visa decision, the MOFA ratification or the medical fitness step.

Is SiZA Global a government department or a private documentation support company?

SiZA Global Solutions Pvt. Ltd. is a private documentation services company registered in Noida. We are not a government department, not an embassy and not a visa consultancy. We carry the India-side document chain so the family file moves cleanly through MEA, the Saudi Embassy and Saudi MOFA.
