Who Can Apply for Saudi eVisa?
Citizens of eligible countries can apply online for a Saudi eVisa. GCC citizens do not usually need a visa to enter Saudi Arabia and may travel using their passport or national ID, subject to current entry rules. GCC residents may also be eligible to apply online, provided their residency visa has been valid for at least 3 months and they hold an eligible occupation.
The Saudi eVisa is generally issued as a one-year, multiple-entry visa and allows eligible travelers to stay in the country for up to 90 days per visit. It is intended for tourism-related travel, including leisure, events, family and relatives visits, and Umrah outside Hajj season. It does not cover activities such as studying.
