Expats with any Iqama profession can apply for a family visit visa and bring their family to KSA. In this article, we have explained the updated process to apply for a family visit visa in Saudi Arabia in 2024.

Who is eligible for a family visit visa?

The family visit visa can be applied for only the following people in Saudi Arabia. While relation 1-4 listed below is approved for everyone, relation 5-9 would be approved only if you have a good Iqama profession.

• Wife/Husband.
• Parents-in-Law.
• Grand Parents.
• Brother and his family (wife and children).
• Sister and her family (husband and children).
• Sister-in-Law (sister of the spouse). 
• Brother-in-Law (brother of the spouse). 

Requirements for the visa

You need the following documents to apply for the family visit visa;

• Applicant’s passport.
• Saudi visa of the Iqama holder person applying for the visa.
• 3 months of Iqama validity.
• No need to be physically present in KSA to apply.
• Activate Nafath app.

Now expatriates with any Iqama profession including labor and house drivers can also apply for a family visit visa.

Step 01: Log in to Nafath

In order to fill out the application for a family visit visa;

• Open this website https://visa.mofa.gov.sa/Account/
• Click on the “ Login ” button.
• Enter your Iqama Number .

Step 02: Fill out the application

On the next page, you will be given many options out of which you need to select;

On the first page of the Saudi family visit visa application, the system will fetch your details while you need to enter;

• Saudi Visa Number is written on the work visa stamped on your passport when entering Saudi Arabia. In case you were born in KSA, you can leave the field blank.
• Click on the “ Add ” button.

Personal Details

On the next page, you need to enter the personal details of the family visit visa applicant such as;

Recently, many family visit visa applications have been rejected with the message “ نأمل تعبئة طلب جديد مع تدوين المهنة بشكل دقيق في خانة ( المهنة)، أطيب تحياتنا .” which means that the profession selected is inaccurate.

However, there is no profession of housewife, child, or retired in the list of professions provided above. We believe that this is a short glitch and soon the Saudi government will start to accept “Unemployed” profession.

Step 03: Submit the application

In the next step, you need to submit the application to your employer to sign and stamp it.

• Private Employees: After this, the HR of your company will submit the application to the chamber of commerce of the same city mentioned in the address above.
• Government Employees:  The government employees will submit the application to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
• Domestic Workers:  The employer of the domestic workers will approve the visa through his Absher account. They don’t have to submit it anywhere.

Step 04: Check Visit Visa Application Status

Now keep on checking the family visit visa status from the MOFA website. As soon as the family visit visa is approved, send it to the country from where your family wants to enter KSA. https://visa.mofa.gov.sa/

In some cases, the MOFA requests some additional documents from the Iqama holder before approving the visa. If this is the case, you need to visit the Ministry of Foreign Affairs along with the required documents.

Step 05: Submit the application to the Saudi Embassy

Your family will contact an agent to submit the application to the Saudi Embassy or Saudi Consulate. In Pakistan, your family will have to book an appointment with Etimad.

At this point, you need to pay the fee for the family visit visa to your agent. Here is an approximate breakup of the fee;

• Visa Fee: SR 300.
• Insurance: SR 100.
• Other Charges: SR 500.
• Total Fee: SR 800 approx.

Make sure the application is submitted to the Saudi Embassy within the family visit visa validity .

Step 06: Check Saudi Visa Status

After submitting your passport to the embassy, you can check the Saudi Visa status with the passport number online.

If the visa is stamped, you need to book a return ticket for the family visit visa holder. Saudi authorities have the right to deport a visit visa holder if he does not have a return ticket.

The Cost of Saudi Visas: Everything You Need to Know

Have a trip to saudi arabia coming up here are the different costs of saudi visas., article summary:.

• The costs of Saudi visas are structured based on various factors such as administrative costs, processing fees, the cost of maintaining systems, to the state of current diplomatic relations.
• These are subject to change at any time, which is why travelers must be aware of the latest visa fees to facilitate a smooth visa application process.

Introduction

No matter what trip you have in mind, it will require a certain degree of planning, especially when it comes to the matter of expenses. From the flights, transportation, accommodation, meals, to activities, everything will need to be accounted for if you’re monitoring your spending.

The visas, in particular, are also a crucial element of the trip, especially if it’s your first time to travel to a specific country. Saudi Arabia, for one, has an e-visa program that allows many nationalities to easily apply for a visa for purposes like tourism and business.

What are the costs of Saudi visas? How much should you prepare beforehand? How can you pay for them? In this article, we take a deep dive into how much different Saudi visas cost and other relevant information.

What goes into visa fees

Before we go into detail about the cost of Saudi visas, let’s understand what goes into visa fees. What exactly are you paying for? Why are certain visas priced a certain way?

Every country will price its visas a certain way due to several factors, but there are common aspects that influence its price tag. Here’s a brief overview:

Administrative processing costs: This refers to the embassy or consulate’s expenses when it comes to processing visas. They need to consider staff wages as well as the cost of maintaining the office and equipment.

Reciprocity fees: Some countries have exceptionally high visa fees, so when it’s the turn of their citizens to apply to other countries, those countries they are visiting might “reciprocate” the high visa fees. These are called reciprocity fees, often done as a response to costly visa fees.

Visa type: Different visa types will require different processing requirements, so some visas will be more expensive than others. For example, a business visa may be more affordable than a tourist visa.

Expedited processing: Processing visas take time, and any applicant who requests for their visa application to be expedited will naturally merit an additional fee. This is a service offered by embassies and consulates.

Additional services: Embassies and consulates typically charge an extra fee for consular and notarial services, providing emergency assistance to citizens of their country, maintaining registers of their citizens traveling in the host country, organizing cultural events and educational programs, facilitating trade missions, arranging official visits between government officials, and providing legal or immigration assistance.

Government regulations: Government regulations and policies may influence the cost of visa fees. They may make adjustments to these amid diplomatic relations, economic conditions, or immigration laws.

Third-party fees: In some cases, visa applications may have to be processed by third-party suppliers such as visa facilitation services centers and travel agencies.

Understanding visa fees

Broken down, visa fees are usually made up of a visa fee, an administration fee, an insurance fee, and taxes. Here’s a guide to what they’re for:

Visa fee: The visa fee refers to the primary fee that is charged for processing a visa application. There are certain administrative costs associated with reviewing each application, conducting background checks, and deciding whether or not to issue the visa. As mentioned, this fee will vary depending on the visa being applied for, and in some cases, the applicant’s nationality as well.

Administration fee: The administration fee, meanwhile, refers to the charge for the administrative processing of the visa application. It covers costs such as running the application process, maintaining application centers or systems, and providing assistance to applicants. Similar to the visa fee, this will vary depending on which entity is processing the visas: an embassy or consulate, or a VFS center.

Insurance fee: Countries may require health insurance or travel insurance during the visa application process. An insurance fee is charged to cover the cost of insurance premiums. Note that this will vary depending on the length of travel, coverage limits, and the insurance provider.

Taxes: The government of a country will impose certain applicable taxes or surcharges on top of the visa fee. These may include service taxes or value-added taxes (VAT). The tax amount will vary depending on the country issuing the visa and the particular type of visa being applied for.

In general, fees comprising a visa fee may be lumped together or charged individually depending on a country’s visa application process and policies in place. These should be carefully reviewed by applicants so they are aware of the payments they need to be ready for.

Related Questions

Can I use the Saudi eVisa for other than tourism? Yes! However, most of the eligible 49 countries cannot because they are non-Muslim countries barring Brunei, Malaysia and Kazakhstan. The Saudi eVisa must be used only for tourist purposes for non-Muslims. Muslims CAN do Umrah but not Hajj, work or conduct business. These other three are NOT permitted under the Saudi eVisa terms and conditions.

What will happen if I break the Saudi eVisa terms and conditions? Contravening the Saudi eVisa terms and conditions can lead to cancellation of the eVisa, fines, possible arrest, and/or imprisonment for violations of a more serious nature.  Please remain alert at all times and commit to following Saudi laws, rules, and regulations.

Will more countries get added to the list of 49 currently eligible countries? People in Muslim countries feel upset because their country does not appear on the list of 51 countries eligible for the Saudi eVisa Inshallah! In the future, more and more countries will be added.

The most common query people often have regarding the new Saudi Arabia electronic visa system is the visa cost and how to pay the fees. There are many issues they are confused about, such as whether their financial information is safe or not and how to make online transactions successfully. Moreover, applicants are generally clueless about the differences between electronic or e-visa costs according to their selected visa categories, such as single or multiple entries, standard or urgent processing, and tourist or business visa . We have answered all your queries on this page and comprehensively explained Saudi Arabia visa fees.

Cost of Saudi Arabia E-Visa?

The Saudi Arabia e-visa cost varies according to your nationality, purpose of travel, and processing duration.

Choose your Country

Visa service fee.

You can choose three options when applying for the e-visa through this website. that visa cost is calculated when applying for the e-visa. It will include a service fee, which is a standard expense that every visa applicant must pay regardless of applying online or through an embassy.

• Rush: Visa costs ... and issued within ( ... ) .

This option is ideal for those on a budget. Please be informed that health insurance is necessary for every traveler. The visa cost may also include health insurance costs covering the entire length of your stay in Saudi Arabia.

Is Saudi Arabia E-Visa Pricey?

It is natural to believe that the Saudi Arabia online visa system would be costlier than the traditional paper visa system because of the involvement of a third-party travel agency.

Since you are applying through a website that will look after your visa application and send it over to the relevant authorities, additional costs must be involved.

However, that’s not the case because a standard sticker or paper visa would be pricier than an e-visa. If you want to apply the conventional way, there’s no other way to visit the Saudi Arabia consulate or embassy. If there is none, you must visit a visa facilitation center. There will be transportation expenses that you will have to bear as well as the process will be time-consuming since you will have to provide documentation and visit the bank to pay the visa fees. In the end , a paper visa would always be costlier than an e-visa.

On the other hand, there aren’t any travel expenses involved when applying through this website. All you need is an internet connection, mobile or laptop, and fifteen minutes of your time to complete the process. You don’t need to take out printouts of your passport or other documents, just upload their digital scans and pay the visa fees online. It takes no more than a few minutes to process the transaction to pay the visa fees.

The fees are much less than a regular paper visa . Although processing charges are involved, you get three different options to choose from, so it is possible to apply for the visa well in advance and avoid paying higher costs for an urgent visa.

Is My Financial Data Safe?

Absolutely yes; your financial data is never shared with any third party. In fact, we do not store your banking information. If you are a registered member, even then, you will have to re-enter your credit or debit card details every time you apply for an e-visa through this website.

Please check out the terms and conditions regarding financial data safety. Please be confident that all your personal or financial information is kept confidential, and it is safe to apply for an e-visa and pay the visa fees.

How Can I Pay the E-Visa Fees?

There are two ways to pay your e-visa fees: a debit card and a credit card . For both methods, you will need a valid and active payment card. We accept American Express, MasterCard, and Visa . You can use your PayPal account to process the fees if you don't have a payment card. Ensure you enter the correct card number or account details to avoid unnecessary complications. We guarantee that your financial data is never stored on our website.

With over 13 percent of the population in Saudi Arabia being Indians, Indians are bound to have family members living in the country. To visit your family living in the country, you will need a Family Visit Visa Saudi Arabia.

For people other than those from the GCC countries, and from a few other visa-exempt nations, everyone requires a permit to enter the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. However, if you are visiting a first-degree family member, you can apply for a Saudi Family Visit Visa . Valid for a maximum of 90 days, or as per approval by the Ministry of External Affairs in Saudi. This permit allows you to visit the country for the purpose of meeting family, and thereby can even take part in tourism activities. The visa comes in the form of a vignette in your passport. 

The process of applying for the family visit permit is quite different from other countries. The process although available online, for Indians, the mode is offline. Not just that, the Saudi embassy does not accept applications submitted directly. As a result, you will have to contact a travel agency to do it for you. Now before applying, ensure that you check the eligibility criteria for the visa. Once this is done, you may proceed to make the application as follows - 

• The first step involves collecting all the necessary documents required. 
• Once you have them, you can visit the MOFA Saudi website, and download the application form. 
• Proceed to fill in the form. You can either type it and take a print, or print it and write it by hand. You should also keep in mind to affix your photographs, and sign wherever necessary.
• Pay the visa fees online to the travel agency. You cannot make direct payments to the embassy. 
• With the application form, attach the documents and send them to the Saudi Embassy via the travel agent.

Please ensure that you fill in the correct details and that you submit the original documents. Any wrong information or forged documents can lead to a visa rejection . A denied permit is considered as a black mark in your travel history.

To be able to apply for the visit permit, you will have to meet the following criteria - 

• You must hold a passport valid for at least 6 months from the date of departure. 
• The family member you are visiting must be of the first degree such as children, parents, siblings, or also, spouse, in-laws, etc. You cannot apply for a family visit permit if they are your uncles, aunts, etc. 
• The person inviting you must hold a valid family visit visa invitation letter approved by the MOFA in Saudi Arabia. 
• The person inviting you must hold a valid Iqama (residence permit) 
• Your sole purpose of the visit must be to visit your family. 

When you receive your visit permit, keep in mind the following key points to ensure a hassle-free journey - 

• Make a note of the vis expiry date. You will not be able to stay in the country beyond this period. If you do stay, it is considered a criminal offence, and you will be fined and deported.
• You cannot engage in work activities while you are on a visit permit.
• You must strictly abide by the rules and regulations of Saudi while you are in the country. You must also respect their culture and traditions. 

The list of documents as per the Saudi family visit visa requirements , that are necessary for the application are mentioned as follows - 

• An original passport that is valid for at least 6 months from the date of travel. Any old passports need to be submitted as well
• 2 photographs as per regulations.
• Family Visit Visa Invitation letter approval from Ministry of Foreign Affairs, KSA
• Copy of Iqama of the Sponsor
• Passport copy of the sponsor 
• Travel insurance issued by the Saudi embassy as per your application
• Proof of relationship with the relative inviting you.

• Dimensions: 35mm X 45mm
• Face should cover 80% of the photo
• Facial expression - neutral
• Head in a central location

Due to the lower volume of applications, the family visit permit is generally issued in about 4-5 working days. However, depending on a few factors such as the time taken to get the invitation approved, a higher volume of applications, season, etc, this may take longer to be approved. 

The total fees depend on several factors such as the number of entries, service charges by the travel agency, etc. Since the fees can change without prior notice, it is necessary to confirm the amount before you make the application. 

Once you have submitted your visa application, you will receive it back via your travel agent within the stipulated processing time. In the meanwhile, you can check your Saudi Family Visit Visa status by contacting the agency, or by emailing the embassy directly with your application number. 

Frequently Asked Questions

Can i renew my family visit visa in saudi.

You cannot renew it, but you can definitely extend your visa easily. Unlike a lot of the other nations, the Saudi government accepts a visa extension request. In most cases, you can get an extension up to the total duration of your current permit. If the visa is of 90 days, you can get up to another 90 days. However, keep in mind that you will have to apply for it at least a week before your current visa expires and that you can only stay in the country for a maximum of 180 days as a visitor.

Can I Get a Family Visit Visa Without Documents Such as a Birth Certificate of the Child, Marriage Certificate, etc?

No, you cannot apply for it. A vital part of the documents required for the family visit permit is proof of the relationship. A birth certificate or the marriage certificate can be used to prove this. Without these, there is no evidence that the person you are visiting is your relative.

Can I Work in Saudi Arabia if I am On a Family Visitor Visa?

No, you definitely cannot. While you are on a visitor permit, you are strictly prohibited from working or engaging in work-related activities. The primary condition for which the visa is issued is that your purpose of visit is only to visit your relatives. You can also take part in sight-seeing and tourist activities while you are on this. 

After Expiring My Saudi Arabia Family Visit Visa, How Long Can I Stay?

You cannot stay any longer after your visa is expired. You are expected to leave the country on or before the date of expiry. Staying back after the period is considered as an offence and you may face penal charges. However, you are free to apply for an extension if you want to stay in the country.

What is the Medical Test for Saudi Arabia Family Visit Visa?

Since it is a short term permit, there is no requirement of a mandatory medical test. However, for the long-stay permit such as the family visa, you require a medical check-up to be done. Either way, it is suggested that you get a health checkup done before travelling to any country for the sake of your own safety. 

Can I Convert My Saudi Arabia Family Visa into a Work Permit?

No, the short term visas cannot be converted into another type. Once your visa expires, you will have to leave the country. However, if you wish to get a work permit, you can apply for jobs in the KSA and find a sponsor. Then, once you return back to your home country after the visit permit expires, you can apply for a new work permit.

• The kingdom of Saudi Arabia is the birthplace of Islam and the frontier of Islam’s cultural heritage. Located in the Middle East, it is the place where a Muslim visits to meet his Prophet and pays homage at the holy cities of Mecca and Medina. This most misunderstood yet spectacular country is strictly governed by Islamic law though the people are incredibly hospitable and welcoming. The oasis in the dunes, marvellous mountains, and pristine rivers are part of the country’s captivating natural beauty. Riyadh, the cosmopolitan capital city of the country, is full of modern restaurants and skyscrapers that will make you feel connected with the western world .
• The official language of this Islamic country is Arabic, and visitors should learn a few generic words and phrases before visiting the city. There are many tourist attractions and metropolitan cities where English is understood, but if you are visiting the remote cities, Arabic is a must. While visiting the conservative Muslim country, it is important to observe the local customs and respect their traditions. Women should dress modestly and wear Abaya while visiting religious places. Due to recent terror attacks, it is advisable not to visit the restricted borders and adjoining villages.

What to see in Saudi Arabia?

• It is believed that the souls who get to visit the Mecca and Medina are blessed, but only Muslims can visit the holy cities. Apart from spiritual places, there are many marvels that will surprise and amaze you. Empty Quarters, also known as the Abode of Silence, is the 65000sq km dunes where you can enjoy safari, jeep and camel rides. Jubbah Rock Carvings is an open-air gallery of the pre-Islamic era. The petroglyphs of 5500BC make one wonder about the history of the place and the people who used to live there.
• Masmak Fortress in Riyadh is one of the most-visited sites in the capital. The Maiden Saleh ruins, the ancient cities called Timna and Shiban, Pink palaces in Taif, and the wildlife of Asir are a must-see. The Arabian night safari should be on your list while visiting the country. Shop at the traditional souks and take away souvenirs like brassware, incense holders, historical swords, chest covers, etc. Explore the camel market and get gifts of authentic jewellery for your friends.
• Saudi Arabia is known for its non-vegetarian cuisine, and every restaurant in the country offers varieties of it. Visiting the country on Saudi Arabia visa for Indians if you are a vegetarian can be challenging as you will be unable to try most of the delicacies. However, not many people know that the Saudi menu has a lot of vegetarian options that include Ful wa Tameez, Tamiya, Muttabaq and, vegetarian Kebabs that will satisfy your hunger pangs. Traditional cuisine is hot and spicy with lunch as the heaviest meal of the day. It includes lamb and chicken, but pork is forbidden. Pita bread with hummus, lentils, and Burghul are the staple vegetarian dishes. Alcohol is strictly prohibited in the month of holy Ramadan.

Many retailers boosted wages after living wage/minimum wage changes in spring.

Figures show German discount brands Aldi and Lidl top the list of major UK supermarkets when it comes to staff hourly pay - after Lidl introduced its third pay increase of the year in May to match its closest rival.

Meanwhile, Morrisons is at the bottom of the pack for staff pay outside London, with hourly wages starting at the National Living Wage (£11.44).

How do other companies compare when it comes to pay and benefits? We've taken a look...

Pay: £12.40 an hour outside London and £13.65 inside the M25

Aldi announced in March it was bringing in its second pay rise of the year as part of its aim to be the best-paying UK supermarket.

From 1 June, hourly pay rose from £12 an hour to £12.40 outside the M25 and £13.55 to £13.65 in London. 

Aldi is one of the only supermarkets to give staff paid breaks. It also offers perks such as discounted gym membership and cinema tickets, and financial planning tools. However, there are no cheaper meals, staff discounts or bonus schemes.

Pay:  £12.04 an hour outside London and £13.21 inside the M25

As of 1 July, hourly wages for Asda supermarket staff rose to £12.04 per hour from £11.11, with rates for London staff also going up to £13.21.

As part of the July changes, Asda brought in the option for free later-life care or mortgage advice. The company also offers a pension, a free remote GP service and a bonus scheme.

Pay:  £12 an hour outside London and £13.15 inside the M25

Co-op boosted its minimum hourly wage for customer team members from £10.90 to £12 nationally as the national living wage rose to £11.44 in April.

For staff inside the M25, rates rose from £12.25 to £13.15.

The perks are better than some. Workers can get 30% off Co-op branded products in its food stores as well as 10% off other brands. Other benefits include a cycle to work scheme, childcare vouchers and discounts on its other services.

Pay:  £11.50 an hour outside London and £12.65 inside the M25

Iceland says it pays £11.50 for staff aged 21 and over - 6p above the minimum wage. Employees in London receive £12.65 per hour.

Staff are also offered a 15% in-store discount, which was raised from 10% in 2022 to help with the cost of living.

The firm says it offers other perks such as a healthcare scheme and Christmas vouchers.

Pay:  £12.40 an hour outside London and £13.65 inside the M25

From June, Lidl matched its rival Aldi by raising its hourly wage to £12.40 for workers outside the M25 and £13.55 for those inside.

Lidl also offers its staff a 10% discount card from the first working day, as well as other perks such as dental insurance and fertility leave. 

Marks and Spencer's hourly rate for store assistants was hiked from £10.90 to £12 for staff outside London and from £12.05 to £13.15 for London workers from April.

The grocer also offers a 20% staff discount after the probation period as well as discretionary bonus schemes and a free virtual GP service.

Pay:  £11.44 an hour outside London and £12.29 inside the M25

Along with many other retailers, Morrisons increased the hourly wage for staff outside the M25 in line with the national living wage of £11.44 in April.

Employees in London receive an 85p supplement.

While it's not the most competitive for hourly pay, Morrisons offers perks including staff discounted meals, a 15% in-store discount and life assurance scheme.

Sainsbury’s

Sainsbury's hourly rate for workers outside London rose to £12 from March, and £13.15 for staff inside the M25.

The company also offers a 10% discount card for staff to use at Sainsbury's, Argos and Habitat, as well as a range of benefits including season ticket loans and long service rewards.

Pay:  £12.02 an hour outside London and £13.15 inside the M25

Since April, Tesco staff have been paid £12.02 an hour nationally - up from £11.02 - while London workers get £13.15 an hour.

The supermarket giant also provides a 10% in-store discount, discounted glasses, health checks and insurance, and free 24/7 access to a virtual GP.

Staff get their pay boosted by 10% on a Sunday if they joined the company before 24 July 2022.

Pay:  £11.55 an hour outside London and £12.89 inside the M25

Waitrose store staff receive £11.55 an hour nationally, while workers inside the M25 get at least £12.89.

Staff can also get access to up to 25% off at Waitrose's partner retailer John Lewis as well as 20% in Waitrose shops. 

JLP (the John Lewis Partnership) gives staff a bonus as an annual share-out of profit determined by the firm's performance. In 2021-22 the bonus was 3% of pay; however, it has not paid the bonus for the past two years.

Dozens of Ted Baker stores will shut for the last time this week amid growing doubts over a future licensing partnership with the retail tycoon Mike Ashley.

Sky News understands that talks between Mr Ashley's Frasers Group and Authentic, Ted Baker's owner, have stalled three months after it appeared that an agreement was imminent.

Administrators are overseeing the closure of its remaining 31 UK shops.

One store source said they had been told that this Tuesday would be the final day of trading.

The housing market experienced a surge in activity following the Bank of England's recent decision to cut interest rates, according to a leading property website.

Estate agents reported a 19% jump in enquiries about properties for sale after 1 August, when compared with the same period last year, research by Rightmove found.

It came after the Bank cut rates for the first time in more than four years from 5.25% to 5%.

The lead negotiator for major train union ASLEF has denied the union sees the new government as a "soft touch" after announcing fresh strikes two days after train drivers were offered a pay deal.

Drivers working for London North Eastern Railway will walk out on weekends from the end of August in a dispute over working agreements.

Lead negotiator Nigel Roebuck said it is a separate issue from the long-running row over pay, which looks likely to be resolved after a much-improved new offer from the government.

Over 40 bottles of fake vodka have been seized from a shop in Scotland after a customer reported "smelling nail varnish".

The 35cl bottles, fraudulently labelled as the popular brand Glen's, were recovered from the shop in Coatbridge, North Lanarkshire.

Officers from the council's environmental health officers and Food Standard Scotland (FSS) sent them for analysis after a customer raised the alarm by saying they smelt nail varnish from one of the bottles.

The bottles were found to be counterfeit.

Britons don't have long left to claim cost of living assistance from the Household Support Fund.

Introduced in October 2021, the scheme provides local councils with funding which can be used to support those struggling most with the rising cost of living.

The vast majority of councils operate their version of the Household Support Fund on a "first come, first serve" basis and will officially end the schemes once the funding has run out in September.

The help provided by councils has ranged from free cash payments, council tax discounts, and vouchers for supermarkets and energy providers.

Who is eligible?

Local authorities were instructed to target the funding at "vulnerable households in most need of support to help with significantly rising living costs" when it was first rolled out.

In particular, councils were guided to make priority considerations for those who: 

• Are eligible but not claiming qualifying benefits;
• Became eligible for benefits after the relevant qualifying dates;
• Are receiving housing benefit only;
• Are normally eligible for benefits but who had a nil award in the qualifying period.

If you do not meet these criteria, you can still contact your local council , with many having broadened their criteria for eligibility.

Weapons maker BAE Systems is the big loser on the FTSE 100 this morning, with its shares down almost 3% in early trading.

It comes following reports over the weekend that the German government is planning to scale back aid to Ukraine in its war with Russia – in what would be a blow to the arms industry.

German media said ministers are set to slash support for Kyiv to 6% of current levels by 2027 in their upcoming budget.

However, the government there has rejected the reports and has denied it is "stopping support" to Ukraine.

Whatever the truth, the reports appear to have spooked traders.

Other companies involved in the defence sector, including Rolls-Royce Plc and Chemring Group, are also down more than 2% and 1% respectively on Monday.

It comes amid a slight slump in early trading, with the FTSE 100 down just over 0.2%, although the FTSE 250 is up 0.07%.

Gainers this morning include housebuilders Barratt Developments, up 1.5%, and Redrow Plc, which is up almost 3%.

Barratt said today it intends to push ahead with a planned £2.5bn merger with its rival despite concerns from the competition regulator.

Meanwhile, the price of oil is down amid concerns of weaker demand in China.

Ongoing ceasefire talks in the Israel-Hamas conflict have also raised hopes of cooling tensions in the Middle East, which would help ease supply risks and worries.

A barrel of the benchmark Brent Crude is currently priced at just over $79 (£61).

On the currency markets, this morning £1 buys $1.29 US or €1.17.

Winter energy bills are projected to rise by 9%, according to a closely watched forecast.

The price cap from October to December will go up to £1,714 a year for the average user, Cornwall Insight says.

It would be a £146 rise from the current cap, which is controlled by energy regulator Ofgem and aims to prevent households on variable tariffs being ripped off.

The cap doesn't represent a maximum bill. Instead it creates an average bill by limiting how much you pay per unit of gas and electricity, as well as setting a maximum daily standing charge (which all households must pay to stay connected to the grid).

Ofgem will announce the October cap this Friday.

"This is not the news households want to hear when moving into the colder months," said the principal consultant at Cornwall, Dr Craig Lowrey.

"Following two consecutive falls in the cap, I'm sure many hoped we were on a steady path back to pre-crisis prices. 

"However, the lingering impact of the energy crisis has left us with a market that's still highly volatile and quick to react to any bad news on the supply front.

"Despite this, while we don't expect a return to the extreme prices of recent years, it's unlikely that bills will return to what was once considered normal. Without significant intervention, this may well be the new normal."

Cornwall Insight warned that the highly volatile energy market and unexpected global events, such as the recent escalating tensions in the Russia-Ukraine war, could see prices rise further at the start of the new year.

To avoid this vulnerability, Cornwall Insight said domestic renewable energy production should increase and Britain should wean itself off energy imports.

Kellogg's appears to have shrunk its packets of Corn Flakes. 

Two of its four different pack sizes have reduced in weight by 50g, according to The Sun. 

What used to be 720g boxes are now 670g, while 500g boxes have become 450g. 

The newspaper says the 670g boxes are being sold for £3.20 in Tesco - the same price customers were paying for the larger box back in May. 

The 450g boxes are being sold for £2.19, only slightly less than the previous price of £2.25.

Other supermarkets have similar pricing, although in Morrisons the price has gone down in proportion to the size reduction.

The 250g and 1kg pack sizes remain unchanged. 

Kellogg's has said it is up to shops to choose what they charge, but Tesco said the manufacturer should comment on pricing. 

Sky News has contacted Kellogg's for comment.

A spokesperson is quoted by The Sun: "Kellogg's Corn Flakes are available in four different box sizes to suit different shopper preferences and needs. 

"As the cost of ingredients and production processes increase, it costs us more to make our products than it used to.

"This can impact the recommended retail price. It's the grocer's absolute discretion and decision what price to charge shoppers."

WHSmith has launched a café brand as it seeks to expand into the food-to-go market.

The first café is in Princess Anne Hospital in Southampton and offers teas and coffees, hot breakfasts and pastries

Its branding is the same as the Smith Family Kitchen food-to-go range launched three months ago.

WHSmith UK travel managing director Andrew Harrison said: "Whether it's in a hospital or on their journeys, customers tell us that quality food and drink options are what they prioritise most in the different locations we serve.

"That's why we have been doubling down on our food ranges and formats to ensure our customers don't need to compromise on quality or value, as demonstrated today with the launch of Smith's Kitchen."

I'm 62 and have 10 years of gaps in my national insurance record as I worked for my parents' import business without a fixed wage during most of my twenties and thirties, and had periods of unemployment in my fifties. What are the benefits of topping up before I retire in a few years and can I really get £6,000 added to my pension for every £900 I put in?  Tony, Palmers Green

This is a question many people approaching retirement will be asking themselves, Tony.

First, it's worth us outlining why your national insurance record matters and who can top up.

If you reached pension age after 6 April 2016 you need 10 years of NI contributions to get a state pension - and 35 years to get the full £221.20 a week. Before that 2016 date, it's 30 years.

People may have gaps in their record for numerous reasons including: being unemployed, on a low income, self-employed, having worked abroad, or having taken a break from work to raise a family.

Ordinarily, you can pay voluntary contributions for the past six years - but currently there's an extended period meaning a man born after 5 April 1951 or a woman born after 5 April 1953 can pay voluntary contributions to make up for gaps between April 2006 and April 2016.

The deadline for this is 5 April 2025.

How much could topping up earn you?

It would cost £907.40 to cover all NI contributions from the 2023-24 tax year - each year is different but this is a good guide. Going back to your question, if you went on to enjoy 20 years of retirement, you would get back £6,000. It would take just three years to get your £907.40 back.

Who might want to think twice?

Just to stress, as always, that this post is not intended as financial advice. Instead, we're outlining things you should think about.

The first thing anyone should consider is if they'll fill gaps naturally through working - in which case there'd be no point topping up. Given your age, Tony, it could be an option for you - but check your state pension forecast  here .

There are lots of other things to factor in and you should seek independent financial advice.

Wealth management firm  Charles Stanley  says a key consideration is whether a higher pension would either:

• Drag you into paying tax when you retire;
• Mean you no longer qualify for certain benefits.

"You might not benefit from the full amount of extra money as some will be taken in income tax," they say.

"In addition, boosting state pension income can affect entitlements to means-tested benefits. Notably, if you claim pension credit, which tops up the income of very low earners over state pension age, any increase in the state pension would normally reduce an award. This often means that you would be no better off paying voluntary contributions."

Another consideration - and this isn't something most people want to contemplate - is that if you don't think you'll live long enough into retirement (you might be in ill-health or have a terminal illness) to benefit from topping up, then it's probably not worth it.

People should also look into whether they could transfer contributions from their spouse or civil partner .

One more way to top up

Which? advises: "Ensure that you are getting any NI credits you are entitled to before contemplating paying voluntary NI contributions for a particular year. 

"These are free and will apply, say, if you are caring for a child in the family as a parent or grandparent, claiming statutory sick pay or looking after a sick/disabled person."

If you're below state pension age, you can contact the Future Pension Centre to see if you'll benefit from topping up - they're on 0800 731 0175. If you already claim the state pension, call the Pension Service on 0800 731 0469.

Again, before taking any action you should seek independent financial advice.

If you do decide to top up, you'll need a Government Gateway account.

On there, you can see gaps, the cost of filling them and how much you could benefit - you can then pay online.
