Do you need a visa for Saudi Arabia?

Yes. Unless you are a citizen of the UK or the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) member countries, you will need a visa to travel to Saudi Arabia.

UK citizens can get an Electronic Visa Waiver (EVW) instead of a visa or eVisa. This document is valid for one entry into Saudi Arabia, lasting up to 6 months. It is valid for trips related to tourism, business, education and medical treatments.

Fortunately, many nationalities have the option of applying for their visas online. They can choose between the Tourist and Transit eVisas and, with us, they can go through the application process entirely online and in the language of their choice.

What is the eVisa for Saudi Arabia?

The eVisa is the document that allows foreign citizens to travel to Saudi Arabia for tourism, visiting friends and/or family, medical treatments, conducting business and performing Umrah. Citizens of eligible nationalities, like all European Union member states, the US, Australia and Canada, can apply for the Tourist and Transit eVisa entirely online.

Both types of eVisas are valid for 1 year and allow for multiple entries. This means that the holder can enter and leave Saudi Arabia as many times as they wish the first year after the eVisa is issued, but they can only stay for up to 90 days per entry.

It is important to note that you can opt for urgent processing of the Tourist eVisa, which guarantees that your application will be managed in the first 24 hrs after it is submitted.
