For decades, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was one of the most difficult destinations in the world to visit, with complex entry rules and strict restrictions that often discouraged tourists and pilgrims alike from planning their journey.
Today, the doors are wide open. Under the historic Vision 2030 initiative, the official Saudi eVisa now grants you access to explore ancient heritage sites like AlUla, attend global business events, or perform the holy pilgrimage of Umrah—all with a single, multiple-entry digital document.
Whether you are a citizen of an eligible country, a GCC resident, or a US/UK visa holder, our streamlined platform simplifies the entire application process. We guide you through every step—from photo uploads to mandatory medical insurance—ensuring your travel authorisation is approved and in your inbox in as little as 24 hours.
