- Can I obtain a visa for Saudi Arabia upon arrival?
Nationalities that qualify for an e-Visa may also apply for an arrival-only visa. Only credit cards are accepted for payment at terminals on-site. British, American, or Schengen visa holders are also subject to the same rules.
- When should I apply for an e-Visa to Saudi Arabia?
We suggest you submit an e-Visa application at least 3 days before your trip to Saudi Arabia. Some applications undergo thorough scrutiny, which causes the deadline to be extended.
- What is the duration of the Saudi Arabia e-Visa?
An e-Visa for Saudi Arabia is good for a year after it is issued. You will need to reapply for an e-Visa if your passport expires before then because the authorisation is tied to a passport number. If so, the government may grant you an e-Visa that is only good for the remaining time on your passport’s validity.
- How long am I permitted to remain in Saudi Arabia on an e-Visa?
You can stay in Saudi Arabia for up to 90 days using an e-Visa. You should apply for a conventional visa in your passport, which will necessitate a more laborious application procedure for longer visits. Throughout the e-year Visa validity, you can travel more than 90 times.
- Must I wait a while between visits to Saudi Arabia?
The interval between visits to Saudi Arabia is unlimited. The quantity and length of your visits should not be seen as a sign that you are attempting to establish yourself by breaking the law. Permanently and indirectly in the nation. The Saudi immigration authorities have discretion over this idea.
