Skilled expatriates moving to Saudi Arabia no longer need to wait to bring their families, the Ministry of Interior announced today. Skilled heads of household may now bring family members to the Kingdom, a step taken with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development as part of efforts to improve quality of life for all residents.

Eligible family members are spouses, sons under 25 and unmarried daughters. They can be issued entry visas as the head of household's work visa is completed.

Residency procedures will be completed after arrival in the Kingdom, under the applicable regulations and guidelines.
