Tourist eVisa

one-year multiple-entry tourist visa

Saudi Arabia's tourist eVisa lets nationals of 68 eligible countries apply online for a one-year, multiple-entry visa allowing up to 90 days in the country. It covers tourism, events, family visits, leisure and Umrah, but not Hajj or study. People from other countries may qualify through other official routes, such as holding a used US, UK or Schengen visa, permanent residence in the US, UK or EU, or GCC residence; otherwise they apply through a Saudi embassy.
