Saudi Arabian visa policy for Canadian citizens

Canadian citizens need a visa to visit Saudi Arabia, and the most common option for short trips is the Saudi Arabia Tourist eVisa, which must be obtained before departure.

iVisa offers two entry documents for Canada travelers:

Saudi Arabia Tourist eVisa: A mandatory electronic visa that allows Canada citizens to enter Saudi Arabia for tourism. It is typically issued as a multiple-entry visa valid for 1 year, with stays of up to 90 days per visit.
Saudi Arabia Umrah Visa: Muslim Canada travelers who plan to perform Umrah (outside the official Hajj season) may also be eligible for a specific Umrah visa category (not valid during Hajj).

General Saudi Arabia visa requirements for Canada travelers are:
A Canada passport valid for at least six months beyond the intended stay
Passport-style photo
Mandatory health insurance (included with the Tourist eVisa)
Proof of accommodation and travel itinerary (if requested)
Confirmed onward or return travel ticket
Evidence of sufficient funds for the duration of the stay (if requested)
