Facetime is a part of iOS and is not available for downloading from anywhere. If it is not on your phone, than that iPhone was prepared at the factory for original retail sale in a country that bans FaceTime (e.g. The UAE). Phones sold in Middle East nations that ban FaceTime have FaceTime disabled as required by law for sale in those nations.

Yes. Saudi arabia... but using vpn you can use facetime here.. but my problem when i purchase this phone theres no face time pre install.. it is possible to install or do i need to buy i new one with face time? Thank you
Where did you purchase the phone? If done in the Middle East, FaceTime is banned by some governments.
No. In order to sell iPhones in Saudi Arabia, Apple is forced to permanently disable the use of Facetime on them.
You would need to have FaceTime on the device in order to use it, with or without a vpn. You cannot add it to a device without it.
