Saudi Arabia visa
Riyadh
Saudi Arabia issues a one-year, multiple-entry tourist eVisa allowing up to 90 days in the country, and it covers Umrah as well as leisure, events and family visits — though not Hajj, and not study. The eVisa is open to a published list of 66 nationalities, which does not include several of the largest expatriate communities in the UAE; if your passport is not on it, the route is the embassy rather than the portal. We confirm which applies to you before anything is paid for.
