Saudi Arabia visa FAQs

What travellers commonly ask about Saudi Arabia visas.

Still have questions?Our visa experts are available 24/7 by chat and email.
Do I need a Saudi Arabia eVisa?

You can easily access this information by selecting your nationality in our eligibility checker available at the top of the website.

What is the validity of the Saudi eVisa?

The standard electronic visa for the KSA remains valid for 1 year from the date of issue and grants a total stay of 90 days in the country (either through one 90-day visit or multiple shorter ones). In some cases, the authorities may issue a single-entry permit granting only 30 days of stay. The decision regarding validity and number of entries is made solely by the Immigration Office during the application review process.

How long does it take to process a Saudi Arabia eVisa?

The standard processing time is 24–72 business hours (1–3 working days) from the moment a complete application is submitted. Extended processing times may occur at the sole discretion of the Immigration Office—in some cases, it may take up to one week. If you receive an Entry Visa Application Letter, the further processing time will depend on the assigned embassy. The visa will be sent to your email immediately after approval.

Can I perform Umrah with a tourist eVisa?

Yes, the Saudi tourist eVisa allows you to perform Umrah; however, the issued eVisa remains a tourist permit, therefore it has certain restrictions, i.e. Umrah is only permitted outside the Hajj season and Zamzam water cannot be brought back. If you wish to participate in Hajj or need a guarantee that you can bring Zamzam water, you must apply for a special Hajj/Umrah visa through an authorized travel agency or directly at the embassy.

I received an Entry Visa Application Letter instead of an eVisa - what does it mean and what do I do?

An Entry Visa Application Letter confirms that your application is currently under review by the Saudi authorities. It is not an eVisa yet. To complete the process, you must contact the Saudi embassy indicated in the document. Unfortunately, we have no influence over whether a standard eVisa will be issued or whether a visit to the embassy will be required—this decision is made solely by the Immigration Office.

Which nationalities are most likely to receive an Entry Visa Application Letter instead of an eVisa?

Most nationalities required to provide supporting documentation for the Saudi eVisa process are likely to receive an Entry Visa Application Letter, however, the final decision always depends on the KSA authorities. When submitting the application, you will be informed accordingly and will be urged to accept the potential outcome.

I applied for a one-year multiple-entry eVisa and received a single-entry permit. Why?

In some cases, the Immigration Office issues single-entry visas valid for only one month from the date of issue (with a permitted stay of up to 30 days) instead of the standard one-year multi-entry visas. The decision regarding the type of visa and its validity is made solely by the Immigration Office during the application review process—we have no influence over it. Each applicant who is likely to receive such an entry permit is being informed of the possibility in the application form.

How can I check the status of my application?

To check the status of your application, you need a Passporta account. Please use this link to log in to your existing profile or create a new one.

My application status shows “Finished” – where is my eVisa?

Once your application status shows "Finished", the eVisa will be sent to your email address as a PDF attachment. Please check your inbox. Remember to check your SPAM or junk folder as well.

How will I receive my eVisa after approval?

Once approved, your eVisa will be sent directly to the email address provided in the application form.

What should I do if my eVisa has been rejected?

Unfortunately, the Immigration Office has determined that you do not meet the requirements for the Saudi eVisa. In this case, you should contact the nearest embassy or consulate of Saudi Arabia to apply for a traditional visa.
