Who can apply
Indian passport holders are eligible for the Saudi tourist eVisa. The visa is typically issued as a one-year, multiple-entry visa allowing stays of up to 90 days per visit — confirm the terms printed on your issued visa, as conditions are set at approval.
You'll need a passport valid for 6+ months and accommodation details in Saudi Arabia.
Documents required
- Passport scan (valid 6+ months)
- Passport-size photograph, white background
- Hotel booking or host address in Saudi Arabia
- Employment or business proof (optional, but strengthens the file)
Fees and processing time
Indicatively, the eVisa embassy fee is around ₹9,500 including mandatory medical insurance, plus our ₹1,500 service fee. Processing usually completes in 2–4 working days. As always, we confirm the exact total before filing — embassy pricing changes without notice.
Tourist visa vs Umrah visa
A common question: can you perform Umrah on a tourist eVisa? Outside the Hajj season, Saudi authorities have generally permitted Umrah on tourist visas — but rules are revised frequently, and pilgrims travelling specifically for Umrah are usually better served by a dedicated Umrah visa arranged with a package. Read our Umrah guide or ask our team which fits your plan.
