I am an Indian and so is my child. How can I get family visa for my Bangladeshi wife?

Question

I am working as Senior Solutions Architect in a very reputable company in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, since May `08. When I approached the Ministry for my family visa they rejected it on the grounds that my wife is a Bangladeshi.

I am an Indian and so is my 16 month old child. But my wife is from Bangladesh. She and my child live presently in Dhaka, Bangladesh. I have been trying to get the family visa ever since May. I visited the Ministry twice and was turned down each time.

I even tried getting a family visit visa from MOFA, without any luck. Can someone please tell me whether it is possible to get my family over here in Saudi Arabia?

I would be thankful for any helpful comments or directions.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 2

Why dont you get an employment visa for your wife? It might be expensive but it is much easier to get an employment visa than a residence permit. Once she will enter KSA I hope you will manage to keep her with you.

Well in middle east the embassies require a certain amount of salary that a guardian should earn to call his family over there. Its better to get a complete requirement from Saudi Embassy.

Otherwise find some other sponsor or 'Arbaab' to get an alternate visa
