GCC residents can now apply online for Saudi tourist visa

Residents in the region can also apply for umrah visas electronically.

Saudi Arabia 's tourist visa application process has been simplified for Gulf Co-operation Council residents, the country’s tourism minister said on Thursday.

“Saudi Arabia’s visa application is now simpler, more convenient and straightforward for residents of GCC states, regardless of their profession”, Ahmed Al Khateeb said on Twitter.

The visa is available to apply online through the government’s Visit Saudi platform, and the simplified process “will allow individuals to explore the various regions of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and perform Umrah rituals”.

The Minister of Hajj and Umrah Tawfiq Al Rabiah said that all residents of GCC countries can apply for Umrah visas electronically.

He said all expatriates living in the GCC and their first-degree relatives with a Gulf residency permit valid for three months and a passport valid for six months can visit Makkah and Madinah to perform Umrah, and visit the Prophet’s Mosque.

GCC residents can apply for online visit visas to perform Umrah through the Saudi Rouh platform, for a fee of 300 Saudi riyals plus a medical insurance fee.

They can have single and multiple entry visas to perform Umrah rituals, pray in the Rawdah Sharif at the Prophet’s Mosque and visit all the kingdom's cities and historical sites.

The official Saudi Press Agency said the move “comes within the Ministry of Tourism's efforts to provide an opportunity for residents in the GCC states to visit tourist destinations, participate in tourism and entertainment events, and explore the heritage and historical sites of the kingdom.”

The fee for the visa is $80 and the travel document will be emailed to the applicant upon approval.

Anyone wishing to apply must have a GCC residency permit valid for at least three months and a passport valid for at least six months.

Saudi Arabia has been undertaking an ambitious drive to increase tourism revenue in recent years as part of its Vision 2030 economic diversification strategy.

Major tourism projects include AlUla heritage village — a specially developed experience around the ancient Silk Road city — and a sustainable tourism project on the Red Sea that will include a host of seaside luxury hotels across an archipelago of 90 islands.

Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Tourism announced a new Ministerial Decree that will allow faster, easier access to the country.

New regulations will enable Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) residents the option to apply for an eVisa through Visit Saudi's online portal. Moreover, residents of the UK, the US, and the EU can apply for a visa on arrival.

Holders of a valid tourist or business visa from the UK, US or one of the Schengen agreement countries will continue to be applicable for a visa on arrival, provided the tourist or business visa has been used at least once to enter the country.

The eVisa will be a one-year, multiple entry visa, allowing tourists to spend up to 90 days in the country. It covers tourism-related activities and Umrah (excluding Haj season) and excludes other activities such as studying.

The new decree also no longer requires visitors to visit the country's embassy before entering Saudi Arabia, allowing potential travellers a more simplified journey.

Ahmed Al-Khateeb, Minister of Tourism for Saudi Arabia, said, "Elevating the visitor experience is at the heart of the tourism sector's future. Through harnessing digital innovation and streamlining the traveller journey, Saudi Arabia is welcoming more and more visitors from all corners of the globe."

Travellers from 48 countries are eligible to apply for the visa; including Canada, the USA, Switzerland, the UK, China, Singapore, Australia, and South Korea. However, South Asian countries India and Pakistan are not on the list of countries eligible for the eVisa.

Here is how applicants can apply for the visa:

According to the https://visa.visitsaudi.com/ website, travellers can apply for a visa in three simple steps:

• Fill in the online application
• Pay the visa fee
• Get your online visa

Here are things to keep in mind:

• Applicants must be at least 18 years old to use the service and to apply for an eVisa. Travellers cannot use the service if they are under 18 years of age. "If you will be using the service on behalf of a minor, you agree to these terms on behalf of that minor and you represent that you have the authority to do so. If you do not have such authority, you must not use the service," according to instructions posted by the Saudi Ministry of Tourism.
• Applicants need to have a valid passport with six months validity from a permitted country.
• If the eVisa application is accepted, the visa will be sent as an attachment via e-mail.
• Rejected applicants will be informed via e-mail.
• Once applicants have submitted an application for an eVisa, they will not be able to cancel it or request a refund under any circumstances.
• However, applicants that are not successful (for whatever reason) will not be entitled to a refund of any application fees paid.
• Any application containing false or misleading information will be rejected.
• Payment of an application fee does not guarantee approval of an eVisa.
• The price of the service will be set out on the Website and at the time of payment during the eVisa application process.
• VAT will be charged at the applicable rate and will be payable by the applicant as part of the fees.
• eVisa will be valid for one year from the date of issuance.
• It will be valid for multiple entries unless stated otherwise on the specific eVisa.
• The maximum length of stay allowed under the eVisa is three months.
• Once granted an eVisa, it cannot be extended.
• If the eVisa expires before entry to KSA, applicants must apply again and another application fee must be paid.
• An eVisa is granted solely for tourist purposes or for the purpose of performing an Umrah and it is not considered a visa for work.
• Applicants must be able to support themselves (and any dependents) during the visit.
• Saudi travel: GCC residents can now apply for eVisa through online portal

Saudi Arabia launches tourist eVisa for GCC residents

On September 1st, 2022, the Minister of Tourism of Saudi Arabia, His Excellency Ahmed Al Khateeb, announced his signature on a Ministerial Decree created to facilitate and expand tourism in the country. The new measures mainly benefit residents of other countries belonging to the Gulf Cooperation Council: Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates.

From now on, residents of these countries who want to visit Saudi Arabia will be able to apply for an electronic visa online prior to their trip.

Before this decree, residents of GCC countries who wanted to travel to Saudi Arabia were required to provide their personal information, flight itinerary, return tickets, financial solvency documents, proof of accommodation, and proof of employment at their nearest Saudi embassy.

Now, all they need to do is enter Saudi Arabia’s e-visa website , upload the required documents, and pay the fees (300 SAR plus health insurance costs). After that, if they are approved, they will receive their electronic visa directly by e-mail. If they are refused the e-visa, the fees won’t be reimbursed.

There are only a few conditions: the applicant’s residency documents must have a validity of at least 3 months, their passport needs to have a validity of at least 6 months, and their occupation must be among the eligible occupations listed in the portal. If the applicant is a child under 18 years old, a parent must apply for the electronic visa first (this is mandatory).

Provided that they meet all the requirements, successful applicants will be able to travel to Saudi Arabia for tourism purposes and to attend the umrah, outside of the Hajj season.

Successful applicants can also bring their first-degree relatives with them if these relatives apply for an e-visa as well. However, these family members will only be able to enter the country if they are accompanied by the main applicant.

The electronic visa can be valid for single or multiple entries, depending on the case. An electronic visa for a single entry last 3 months and visas for multiple entries last up to one year.

Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs will decide which electronic visa is appropriate for the applicant. Based on this decision, authorities will grant foreign travelers permission to stay in the country for 30 days (if they choose a single-entry e-visa for the traveler) or 90 days (if they opt for a visa valid for multiple entries).

The Ministerial Decree also enables residents of the UK, US, and the EU to apply for a visa on arrival in Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia relaxes tourist visa rule for all GCC residents

• Saudi Arabia

The announcement is the latest in a series of initiatives that seek to attract visitors coming from GCC countries

Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Tourism has relaxed tourist visa applications for all GCC residents, a move that will allow travellers to explore the diverse destinations in the kingdom and perform Umrah rituals throughout the year.

The decision is part of the ministry of tourism’s broader strategy to provide an opportunity for residents in the GCC states to visit tourist destinations and explore the heritage and historical sites across Saudi Arabia. It also allows travellers to participate in tourism and entertainment events.

Saudi Arabia said the announcement by the ministry is the latest in a series of initiatives by the government that aim to attract regional tourists and provide more activities for visitors coming from GCC countries.

The Saudi Tourism Authority also said that more information and visa applications can be made on Visit Saudi – a mobile app that provides a gateway for travellers to discover all events, international festivals and inspiring tourism experiences.

The mobile app also provides tourists with a gateway to enjoy the country’s climate, natural and cultural diversity and the hospitality of the Saudi people.

Last year, the authority launched the Nusuk platform, the first official integrated digital platform in Saudi Araba that helps pilgrims and tourists plan their journeys easily.

Saudi Arabia’s tourism ambitions

Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia introduced the tourist visa in 2019 to help with the development and growth of its tourism industry.

The Gulf state launched a transit visa service in January, allowing travellers who are stopping over in the country to enter the country to perform Umrah and visit the Prophet’s Mosque, in addition to visiting tourist sites in the kingdom.

Saudi Arabia welcomed 93 million travellers in 2022 and the country now aims to boost that number to 100 million visits in line with its National Tourism Strategy and Vision 2030. The government plans to invest around $1tn in the tourism industry by 2030 to increase the contribution of the tourism sector to the gross domestic product (GDP) to 10 per cent while creating as many as one million new jobs in the sector.

Earlier this year, Saudi Arabia created a new fund, the Events Investment Fund, to develop a sustainable infrastructure for the tourism, entertainment, cultural and sports sectors across the country.

The fund is aimed at developing and increasing foreign direct investment opportunities for a GDP impact of $7.5bn (SAR28bn) by 2045, according to the state-run Saudi Press Agency .

The creation of the fund comes nearly three years after the ministry of tourism launched a $49bn Tourism Development Fund in 2020 to advance growth across the sector.

Mega tourism projects

Saudi Arabia expects to open the doors of several tourism-focused projects including NEOM, Qiddiya, Diriyah Gate and King Salman Park over the next few years.

The $500bn NEOM project was established in 2019 and the futuristic city is now in the building phase with the first destination – Sindalah – due to open its doors for business in 2024. Construction is also underway in all other NEOM regions including THE LINE, Trojena and Oxagon.

The country’s wealth fund, Public Investment Fund, has invested significantly in these megaprojects. PIF said the projects are designed to stimulate the economy and their benefits are expected to expand significantly beyond the real estate and infrastructure sectors.

Visitors to Saudi Arabia are flocking to cultural landmarks, from the At-Turaif District in Diriyah, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, to the Hegra archaeological site in AlUla. They are also visiting historic Jeddah, in the west, and exploring the world’s largest palm oasis, Al-Ahsa, in the east.
