Hi, I am Raj, new to this website. I was checking about visit visa & last date travel (for my brother). For me; I have a family visa and I got a baby in India on 16/9/16 and applied and received a baby passport on 14/10/16 morning and I got information from my friend that I can bring the baby on on-arrival visa (no need to apply for visa in India) and can do iqama in Saudi Arabia.

The reason was my wife exit re-entry was expiring on 18/10/16. So, I was rushing myself, firstly I went to one city to obtain the Polio Immunization certificate for the baby (5 hours traveling) with 3 photos.

It cost me INR 600 – they just gave me a notepad certificate mentioning ” the traveled the first dose has been given to the baby” (they are Saudi authorized center traveled again (5 hours to the airport) while on the way I booked the ticket through credit card by using 3G networks.

After reaching Madras airport: Qatar Airways, they said ok for me & my wife (having iqama & exit-re-entry) but they wanted to check with Qatar office for the baby entry. They asked me to wait for 2.5 hours and finally, they said ok. (It seems that until 6 months’ visa on arrival is allowed for the newborn). At Saudi immigration: They didn’t ask me anything, I said newborn, they wrote some numbers at baby passport & stamped it.

Muhammad Haneefa: Saudi consulate is giving visa for newborn baby without visa slip (Yellow Slip), based on mother’s Re-Entry visa. Requirements are listed below;
