Saudi Arabia: Tourist eVisa
Saudi Arabia's tourist eVisa lets nationals of dozens of eligible countries, and holders of certain US, UK or Schengen visas, apply online or get a visa on arrival.
Who needs it
Nationals of the eligible countries listed on the portal, plus holders of a valid US, UK or Schengen visa or residence permit, and US, UK and EU permanent residents.
Key facts
- It is a one-year, multiple-entry visa, with each individual stay limited to 90 days.
- Mandatory health insurance is included in the fee.
- Applicants must be 18 or over; under-18s need to travel with an adult guardian.
- Sources vary on the exact eligible country count (49 to 66), so check your nationality on the portal itself.
Watch out for
Reported total fees vary between sources (from about SAR 440 up to SAR 535), which may reflect VAT, processing fees or figures published at different times. Confirm the exact total on the official portal before paying, and check whether a travel agent's price includes government fees only or an added service charge.
Before you pay
Check that the address matches the link above, confirm the amount on the portal, and never pay a site that adds a large service fee. Our guide to spotting fake visa websites explains the warning signs, and the FAQ covers common questions.
