Just the same amount u mentioned. 1800 sr. There is no way to find it less than 1800 honestly in Saudi Arabia. If u r visiting ur hometown u can do it there if it is cheaper.
Actually there is. I got mine done 2 days back From Sulaiman Habib in Riyadh for 955SR to be precise.

I don’t know if it helps you but i am getting a letter from my consulate that saudi pcc made a mistake and this is the correct place of birth which is mentioned in the passport
Any update? Did you submitted PCC along with this letter? Did it get accepted? Please share your experience..

Hi Everyone!

I believe what I'm looking for, some people have already gone through it, so just seeking their information/guidance;

I've got the letter from IRCC to submit my passport. The letter is signed under by the VAC at Abu Dhabi. I want to know if it is acceptable to submit the passport to a VFS here in Al Khobar area for the PR ?

My doubts arise from the information on the CIC web page. Over there, they note that the Application Centers in Saudi Arabia only handle Temporary visa services. If it is for the PR, like in my case, the passport (along with a bunch of other requirements) have to be sent to Abu Dhabi.

Can someone please guide me through this, does the Riaydh office also issue PR / PRTD if the letter from IRCC identifies Abu Dhabi as your application center and wants us to send it there?

Any support would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hey

I had the same doubt as the passport request email was not clear they said in mine ( to the nearest Visa application center ) , though they didn't mention saudi arabia they mentioned UAE , kuwait , qatar, oman ( and didnt say anything regarding ksa

I called embassy in riyadh and told me to send the passport to them , amd also i contacted vfs khobar and said the same ( to be sent to riyadh )

I sent mine 2 weeks before to riyadh amd didn't get it back yet

Hi Oman

Yes our cases are pretty identical. I hope you will heard back from them soon. I guess it takes about 4 weeks from them to issue the PR/PRTD. Also Can you share what documents you had to submit to the vfs office here in Al Khobar?

I couldn't travel to Riyadh for this. And the travelling cost itself was making the trip[ unfeasible.

Anyway I did not like Dar Al Afia's service at all. Both my husband and I were told our BP's very high even though we had our yearly medical a month before. I asked the nurse to check again and do it manually (on mercury apparatus and not use the automated machine reading). He refused at first saying we can't do that, we need to put automated readings. But then after my insistence he did my husband's again & his readings were 130/85 (which is still high - I am sure he was infuriated on the nurse which is why). For me, he said he can't do anything & put in the readings of 140/111 (which again is not possible). I went ahead and talked to the doctor to do it again for me. He said he will not share my reading with me anymore & scribbled in the file only.

We were worried sick for a week and then we passed our medical right away.
