Saudi Arabia Visa Information

Tourist Visa Pathways & Entry Options for Visiting Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia, home to desert landscapes, futuristic cities, and rich cultural heritage, now welcomes tourists through several accessible entry routes. Many nationalities can apply for the Saudi eVisa, which typically grants multiple entries and allows stays of up to 90 days per visit for tourism, leisure, and family visits.

Visitors who are not eligible for the eVisa may apply for a Tourist Visa through a Saudi embassy or consulate. This process generally requires a valid passport, travel plans, accommodation details, and proof of financial readiness. Some travelers may also access visa-free entry if holding a valid U.S., UK, or Schengen visa under specific conditions.

For longer stays or non-tourism purposes—such as work, study, religious visits (outside Hajj/Umrah seasons), or residency—Saudi Arabia offers distinct long-term visas and permits. Selecting the appropriate visa ensures compliance with the country’s regulations.
