Visit Visa extension with valid medical reason

In Saudi Arabia
Last Updated: Feb 27, 2026
Needs your opinion about the following....
My wife is in 31week if pregnancy and Visit Visa valid till 3rd April. Our gynecologist Of Makkah ([company removed]) recommended about to stay atleast 2 weeks so that she can do C-section delivery here and than return to home land.
Currently, online extension is limited to 3rd april 2026 . Can we get atleast 2,3 weeks extension or grace period with this medical report by legal way?

Yes, in Saudi Arabia, an exceptional extension of a visit visa can be requested for medical reasons outside the usual online extension process, provided there is an approved medical report confirming the necessity for the pregnant woman to remain until delivery and beyond. A 2-3 week extension is legally possible if a clear medical report is submitted and the request is made before April 3rd via Absher or the Passport Department. It is recommended to apply immediately.
