Saudi passport and entry rules

Arrive with the same passport and the issued eVisa copy.

Understand the official entry conditions, ports, biometrics and border-discretion language.

Country-specific guide

An issued eVisa still meets the border process

The official terms say the eVisa is valid for entry through all airports and/or seaports, but entry remains subject to border conditions and the discretion of an Immigration Officer.

Travelers must arrive with the same passport used to apply, carry a copy of the eVisa on first arrival and provide biometric details when required.
