Do you need a visa?
Check your nationality, purpose and length of stay before paying any fees. Being eligible for an e-visa does not mean every traveller needs one.
Saudi citizens
The Saudi Press Agency announced that mutual visa exemption with Russia took effect on 11 May 2026. It covers tourism, business and visits to relatives and friends for up to 90 consecutive or separate days per calendar year, excluding work, study and residence. Read the official announcement before ordering. If your visit is exempt, you do not need to buy an e-visa service for that visit.
E-visa conditions
Check the eligible nationalities. The visa permits one entry, is valid for 120 days from issuance and allows a stay of up to 30 days within its validity. Entry and departure count as days of stay. Use approved checkpoints for entry and exit.
Documents and timing
Apply between 86 and 4 days before planned entry. Prepare a qualifying passport, a clear image of its data page and a compliant portrait. Read the official instructions for passport, photo and insurance conditions. Each child using the e-visa route needs a separate application; the official fee exemption for children under six does not automatically waive private service fees.
Corrections and payment
If an application is returned for correction, follow the instructions and resubmit it; processing starts again. Payment confirmation can take 20 to 45 minutes. Check the status before paying again. See the official FAQ.
