Are you planning to visit Saudi Arabia on a work visa and want to know your visa stamping status, visa number, and other details such as sponsor name or occupation? You are in the right place. In this article, we explore two simple ways to find out your work visa details and stamping status.
Checking Your Visa Issuance Status and Number
Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) has launched a new visa portal, “KSA Visa,” to simplify the visa process. Here’s how to use this portal to check your visa stamping status. To find out your work visa details such as visa profession and sponsor name, you need to have your visa number. Here is how you can find out your visa stamping status and visa number using your passport number and application number:
- Visit the KSA Visa portal: https://ksavisa.sa
- On the homepage, you’ll find the “track application” option in the top panel. Click on it
- Enter your visa application number in the top field, which you can find on the visa document (e.g., E576542456)
- Enter your passport number in the second field.
- Click on the “Track My Application” button to proceed.
You’ll be able to see an overview of your visa details, including your name, application number, and visa type. Click the “view” button next to this information for a more detailed view.
Checking Saudi Work Visa Details
Upon clicking the “View” button, you will see an overview of your visa application details, including your personal information. If your visa is issued, a popup will appear stating “Visa has been issued, No. xxxxx.” This means your visa has been issued, and the number displayed is your visa number. You can check further details of your visa by following these steps:
- Visit the KSA Visa portal: https://ksavisa.sa
- Click on “Track Application“
- Enter your 10-digit Visa Number (ensure you are entering the visa number, not the application number)
- Enter your passport number and click on the “Track My Application” button
- Click on the “View” button to see the full details of your visa.
On the next page, you will see your official visa document with a barcode, which you can download or print. The document contains information such as your occupation, sponsor name, reference number, visa type, visa issue date, validity, and duration of stay. This way, you can verify the authenticity of your work visa, identify your employer, and understand the job for which you are recruited.
Checking Your Visa Status on the MOFA Website
Alternatively, you can also check your Saudi visa status through the old MOFA website by following these steps:
- Visit the MOFA Portal: Go to https://visa.mofa.gov.sa and select “English” for easy navigation.
- Head to the Query Section: On the homepage, look for the “Query” section.
- Select Inquiry Type: From the drop-down menu labeled “Inquiry type,” choose “Visa Application Number” or “Visa Document Number.”
- Enter Your Details: Fill in your Visa Application Number or Visa Document Number and your Passport Number in the respective fields.
- Complete the CAPTCHA: Enter the image code as seen and click the “Search” button.
On the next page, you can view your visa status in detail.
I hope you now understand how to check your Saudi visa status on both the KSA Visa and MOFA portals. By following the simple steps outlined in this article, you can easily find out your visa status and other details.
