What is Saudi E-Visa?
With the introduction of its new tourist visa, Saudi Arabia is welcoming all people. International travellers can apply for an E-Visa through the quick and simple online portal and learn about the warm hospitality of the Saudi people, their rich heritage, vibrant culture, and their diverse and breathtaking landscapes.
The E-Visa will be a one-year, multiple-entry visa that enables visitors to stay for up to 90 days. You can participate in events, family and relative visits, leisure activities, and Umrah (except Hajj) with a tourist visa, but it does not allow you to do other things like study.
The E-Visa is eligible for 57 countries.
