I was advised by friends that the application for the Saudi visa would be difficult. It appears that the website now is much easier to navigate. 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.
Very easy straightforward. Not complicated. Very understandable. Easy to fill out. Quick response and very helpful and quick update.

Saudi Arabia visa FAQs
What travelers commonly ask about Saudi Arabia visas.
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.
What is the difference between the EVW and the Tourist eVisa?
The Electronic Visa Waiver (EVW) is generally cheaper and allows a stay of up to 6 months, but it is single-entry and does not include mandatory medical insurance. The Tourist eVisa is valid for one year, allows multiple entries (90 days total), and includes government-mandated medical insurance in the fee.
Which document should I choose as a UK traveler?
UK passport holders can choose between the ETA and the Tourist eVisa. The ETA allows multiple entries over two years with a total stay of up to 180 days within any 12-month period, but does not include insurance — arrange your own cover. The Tourist eVisa allows multiple entries with stays of up to 90 days per visit, and includes mandatory health insurance in the visa fee. The best option depends on your trip. Enter your travel details on iVisa to compare your options and choose the right document.
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 Saudi Arabia visa?
Yes. The Saudi Tourist eVisa allows holders to perform Umrah, but it does require an additional permit via the Nusuk app. Umrah is also permitted on the EVW, provided it is outside the Hajj season. Neither can be used to perform Hajj; a specific Hajj visa is required for the pilgrimage.
Do I need separate medical insurance?
For the Tourist eVisa, no: the cost of mandatory health insurance is included in the total eVisa fee, covering emergency medical cases during your stay, and is issued automatically with your visa. The EVW does not include this insurance, so if you travel on an EVW you must ensure your private travel insurance covers medical emergencies for the duration of your stay.
What happens if my Saudi Arabia visa application is denied?
If denied, you will usually need to submit a new application with corrected information. We also offer denial protection as an optional add-on to your application. In some cases, our experts can help you reapply.
What are the most common reasons a Saudi Arabia visa application is denied?
The most common reasons are mismatched passport details (e.g., typos in names or numbers) or low-quality passport photos. Additionally, previous immigration violations in Saudi Arabia or other GCC countries can lead to rejection. By using iVisa, our team checks these details to ensure your application is perfect before submission.
