Eligibility is based on the passport country
The official Visit Saudi portal states that citizens from 66 eligible countries can apply for the tourist eVisa and publishes the current list.
The official terms include countries across Europe, Asia, Africa, North America and Oceania. If a country is not listed, the portal directs the applicant to the nearest Saudi Arabia Embassy.
