It was absolutely straightforward to apply for my mother's visa which went without any hitch. Although it said four days, the Visa and insurance documents were ready to download the following morning. Very impressed with this service.

Still have questions?
Our visa experts are available 24/7 on chat, email, and WhatsApp.
Do I need a visa for Saudi Arabia?
Yes, most foreign nationals require a visa to enter Saudi Arabia. While many nationalities can obtain a visa on arrival, the eVisa is highly recommended to guarantee entry and save time at the border. Citizens of GCC countries (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and UAE) can enter visa-free using their National ID.
How will I receive the Saudi Arabia Tourist eVisa?
You will receive your Saudi eVisa and Medical Insurance Policy via email as a PDF. You must print these documents and bring them with you. At the airport, go directly to the immigration counter where your biometric data (fingerprints and photo) will be taken. If you applied through iVisa, you can also find your documents in your dashboard.
How long can I stay in Saudi Arabia with an eVisa?
The Saudi Tourist eVisa allows for multiple entries and a maximum stay of 90 days within a single year. The visa itself is valid for one year from the date of issuance.
Can I perform Umrah with a Tourist eVisa?
Yes. One of the unique benefits of the Saudi Tourist eVisa is that it allows holders to perform Umrah, but it does require an additional permit via the Nusuk app. However, it cannot be used to perform Hajj; a specific Hajj visa is required for the pilgrimage.

Government processing can take up to a few days. iVisa offers expedited processing, so you can get your eVisa as quickly as possible.

These include: If you are visiting as an attendee at a conference (e.g., at LEAP or Cityscape), Meeting potential partners or scouting market opportunities, Looking at real estate or infrastructure. For employment or residency, you must apply for a different visa, sometimes through a Saudi Embassy, and have a local sponsor.

Can I extend my eVisa while I am in Saudi Arabia?
No, the Saudi Tourist eVisa is non-extendable. Once your 90 days are up, you must leave the country. You can return later if your 1-year visa is still valid because it's a multiple-entry visa, but you cannot "renew" it at a provincial office within Saudi Arabia.
