TOURISM VISIT VISA

You will need a tourism visit visa if you are visiting Saudi Arabia as a tourist, and you may also need this visa if you are transiting and you are flying with a low-cost carrier (like WizzAir, for example) and you may need to switch terminals.

Nationals of the countries listed on the https://visa.visitsaudi.com/ Web site can obtain their visa 2 ways:

1. Online, on the https://visa.visitsaudi.com/ Web site.
2. On arrival at the Saudi airport.

For the online visa application, the uploaded passport image should be very low resolution (5–10KB), so it can fit into the image window.

If you are transiting, in the visa application under the Saudi accommodation section, write the name and address of the airport.

Both the e-visa and the visa on arrival must be paid for by bank or credit card.

With a tourist visa you may also perform Umrah, but only outside the Hajj period. Important information regarding Umrah can be found on the https://www.nusuk.sa/ Web site.

If your country is not on the list mentioned above, please first call the phone number 06 80 080 596, where they will tell you whether you can apply for the visa online, obtain it on arrival at a Saudi airport, or whether you will need an embassy visa.

1. If you are eligible for an e-visa, you can apply on the https://visa.visitsaudi.com/ Web site.
2. If you can obtain a visa on arrival, contact the airline with which you will be flying into the country to confirm whether they allow boarding without a visa.
