    Dear Brothers,

    I have submitted my family visit visa application to CoC this day, but in within 7 days I need to go to my home country due to family issues. Question is, is it ok I go to my home country and still process my application via http://www.mofa.gov.sa? I will leave my iqama to my sponsor’s office and passport copies. Is that possible?

    My wife’s online visit visa application was rejected online for the first time because her name consists of 2 words and according to the rejection reason it should be 3 words. I wanted to check if i should try again with the online application. If not then what is the alternate solution.
