Important change to Saudi Visa Processing in Australia - 30 October 2023:

The Saudi Arabian Visa system has now moved to a jurisdiction-based process, and candidates will now need to apply through the Consular post of the jurisdiction they fall under. This will no doubt have some teething issues and may cause delays to applicants in Australia.

Reach out to the team at CLS Capital Link Services to understand what this means for you, and how we can help you navigate this new change as efficiently as possible.

Important update to Saudi Visas - 04/01/2023
As of 04/01/2023, the Saudi Arabian Embassy and the Saudi Visa Processing Centre (VFS Tasheel) have reimplemented a requirement for biometric scanning for all visa applications addressed to Canberra. This process involves a retinal (eye) and fingerprint scan, which must be done in person at the processing center in Canberra. Presently, the biometrics system at VFS Tasheel is currently not active and it is unclear when it will be operational again.
This has caused delays in visa processing and may cause further delays in the future.
If you are in need of urgent travel and have a visa authorisation/invitation letter addressed to Canberra, your sponsor in Saudi Arabia may be able to change the location to Sydney, where the biometrics system is active. If you choose to change your location to Sydney, please inform your CLS consultant, as there may be changes to forms and additional requirements.

Our CLS teams are working to find the best solution for your application. Feel free to call us to discuss your options.

To our valued clients,

Just a quick announcement, the ACT has entered into a snap lockdown as of 5pm Thursday (11/08/2021) due to a positive COVID-19 case in the ACT.

We are still operational and our team has shifted to a work from home arrangement, and will still be responding to any enquiries and processing orders.

We are currently communicating with Embassies and Consulates and will be providing updates throughout the day.

If you have any questions regarding limitations or delays in the ACT due to the lockdown, please contact us for an update.

As always, we are committed to ensuring you receive the best service, and we thank you for your patience and understanding during this time.

For any enquiries, please contact us on +61 (2) 6282 7155
