Types of Visas:

Saudi Arabia offers various types of visas, including tourist visas, business visas, work visas, and religious pilgrimage visas (such as for Hajj and Umrah).

Tourist Visas: These are relatively new to Saudi Arabia and are available for tourists from select countries. They allow visitors to explore the country for leisure purposes. Tourist visas can be obtained online or through designated visa agencies.

Business Visas: Business visas are issued for individuals traveling to Saudi Arabia for business-related activities, such as meetings, conferences, or negotiations. They are typically sponsored by a Saudi company or organization.

Work Visas: Work visas are required for foreign nationals who intend to work in Saudi Arabia. These visas are usually sponsored by the employer, and the applicant must meet specific requirements set by the Saudi government and the sponsoring company.

Pilgrimage Visas: Special visas are issued for religious pilgrims visiting Saudi Arabia for Hajj or Umrah. These visas are typically arranged through authorized travel agents and require documentation proving the applicant’s eligibility for pilgrimage.
