🛂 Saudi Arabia eVisa: The Complete Tourist Guide
Saudi Arabia's tourist eVisa has opened the Kingdom to leisure travellers from more than 60 countries. Applications are made online at the official portal, take about ten minutes, and approvals typically arrive within minutes to a couple of days.
The visa costs SAR 535 including mandatory medical insurance, is valid for one year, and allows multiple entries with stays of up to 90 days per visit. Holders of valid US, UK or Schengen visas, and residents of those countries, may be eligible for a visa on arrival.
Apply only through the official government portal — third-party sites charge large markups for the same visa. Print or save a copy of your eVisa to show at check-in and immigration. Passports must be valid for at least six months on arrival.
Note that the tourist eVisa does not permit Hajj; Umrah is permitted outside the Hajj season, but always check the current rules before booking religious travel.
