What you need to know

What is a flight itinerary โ€” and why does the Saudi eVisa portal ask for one when approval is almost instant?

Saudi Arabia launched its tourist visa programme in 2019 and the eVisa approval is now often instant-to-24-hours for eligible nationalities. But the visitsaudi.com platform still asks for your arrival and departure flight details during the application โ€” before you've booked real tickets. The eVisa costs $137 USD for a 1-year multiple-entry permit and bundles mandatory travel insurance at no extra charge. With approval speeds this fast, there's no reason to have non-refundable flights at risk before you've confirmed the eVisa. A Flightinary itinerary gives the portal real GDS flight numbers and IATA codes without any purchase commitment.

What a flight itinerary is

A professionally formatted travel document built from live GDS aviation data โ€” real flight numbers, correct airline codes, accurate IATA airport identifiers, and departure and arrival times. It documents your intended Saudi Arabia visit for eVisa application purposes without requiring a confirmed booking or financial commitment.

Why not just buy a real ticket?

Saudi Arabia's eVisa process is typically instant to 24 hours for eligible nationalities โ€” but your travel dates may still shift after approval, Hajj or Ramadan-period travel can affect flight pricing significantly, and buying a non-refundable long-haul ticket before eVisa approval adds unnecessary cost. A flight itinerary for Saudi Arabia eVisa purposes locks in nothing while satisfying the documentation requirement.

Does Flightinary's itinerary work for Saudi Arabia eVisa submissions?

Yes. Every Flightinary itinerary is generated from real-time GDS aviation data and formatted to international consulate and immigration documentation standards โ€” genuine flight numbers, correct IATA routing, proper carrier codes. It is suitable for the visitsaudi.com eVisa portal and for presentation to Saudi immigration officers at arrival.

Full document checklist

Everything you need for a Saudi Arabia tourist eVisa application

Saudi Arabia's tourist eVisa application is entirely online for eligible nationalities โ€” no consulate visit required. The application is relatively quick, but gathering all documents before you start avoids session timeouts. Note that the mandatory travel insurance is automatically bundled with the eVisa fee.

The Saudi tourist eVisa includes mandatory travel insurance at no extra cost โ€” this insurance is activated upon arrival in Saudi Arabia and covers your stay for up to 90 days. You do not need to separately purchase travel insurance for Saudi Arabia if you hold a valid tourist eVisa.

Identity & visa form

  • Valid passport

    Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended departure from Saudi Arabia

  • Digital passport photograph

    Recent colour photo on white background, uploaded during the online application

  • eVisa online application form

    Completed at visitsaudi.com โ€” the platform is available in multiple languages

  • eVisa fee payment

    $137 USD โ€” includes the mandatory travel insurance; paid by credit or debit card during the online application

Travel itinerary

  • Flight itineraryWe provide this

    Arrival into Saudi Arabia and return or onward departure, with real flight numbers, airline codes, and IATA airport identifiers

  • Hotel or accommodation booking

    Confirmation showing name, address, and stay dates โ€” required at the border and useful during the application

  • Day-by-day travel plan

    Recommended for longer itineraries โ€” Riyadh, Jeddah, AlUla, Diriyah, NEOM (if open), Abha, etc.

  • Tour bookings or activity reservations

    AlUla experiences, Hegra visits, Red Sea dive bookings โ€” optional but demonstrate genuine tourist intent

Financial proof

  • Bank statements

    Last 3 months showing adequate funds for your visit โ€” approximately $100โ€“$150 per day as a practical guide

  • Credit card with sufficient limit

    Credit cards are widely accepted in Saudi Arabia โ€” MADA (local), Visa, and Mastercard work at all ATMs and major retailers

  • Employment letter

    Confirming your position and income โ€” more relevant for longer or multi-city itineraries

  • Payslips or salary certificate

    Last 3 months โ€” supplementary proof of ongoing income

Ties to home country

  • Employment letter on company letterhead

    Confirming your position and approved leave โ€” standard supporting document for all eVisa applications

  • Return flight itinerary

    Your departure from Saudi Arabia โ€” the clearest evidence you intend to leave within the authorised 90-day period

  • Property or residency documentation

    Supports your genuine tourist intent and shows you have a home to return to

  • Family commitments

    Marriage certificate or children's documents โ€” relevant for nationalities facing higher scrutiny through the consulate route

"Ties to home country" is where most applications fail. Saudi Arabia has strict laws regarding behaviour, dress, and public conduct. Alcohol is prohibited. During Ramadan, eating, drinking, and smoking in public during daylight hours is restricted for all โ€” including tourists. Modest dress is expected in public spaces, including shopping malls. Women may now travel solo and do not need a male guardian's permission, but modest dress (covering shoulders and knees) in public is respectful and expected.

Know your profile

How your nationality affects your Saudi Arabia tourist visa application

Saudi Arabia's eVisa programme covers 49+ nationalities โ€” primarily from Western, East Asian, and Gulf-adjacent countries. For eVisa-eligible nationalities, the process is instant to 24 hours with near-100% approval rates. For nationalities not on the eVisa list, the consulate route involves more documentation and longer processing times.

eVisa approval rates are based on Saudi Tourism Authority data (2024โ€“2025). Nationalities not on the eVisa list must apply at a Saudi embassy or consulate. Processing times and requirements differ significantly between eVisa and consulate routes.

๐ŸŸก Consulate route โ€” Pakistan (~12%), non-eVisa nationalities

If your nationality requires the Saudi consulate visa route (not eVisa), prepare a comprehensive documentation package. Saudi consulates examine financial solvency, home country ties, and the stated purpose of visit carefully. Avoid applying during Ramadan or Hajj periods โ€” consulate workloads are significantly higher and processing times lengthen. A detailed travel plan showing specific Saudi destinations and activities demonstrates genuine tourist intent.

๐ŸŸข eVisa route โ€” USA (~1%), UK (~1%), EU, Australia (~1%)

For eVisa-eligible nationalities, approval is typically instant to 24 hours and refusal rates are under 2%. The main thing to get right: have your flight itinerary and accommodation confirmations ready before you open the visitsaudi.com form, so you can complete the application in one session. Get the eVisa first, then book real flights.

Stay rules โ€” explained

How long can you stay in Saudi Arabia on a tourist eVisa?

The Saudi tourist eVisa is a 1-year multiple-entry permit, allowing stays of up to 90 days per visit. You can enter and exit multiple times within the 1-year validity, as long as each individual stay does not exceed 90 days. This makes the eVisa exceptionally flexible for repeat visitors.

90

Days maximum per visit

Each entry into Saudi Arabia on the tourist eVisa is authorised for up to 90 days. The stay duration is confirmed by the immigration officer at the port of entry.

1

Year eVisa validity

The Saudi tourist eVisa is valid for 1 year from the date of issue, with multiple entries permitted throughout the validity period.

49

Plus nationalities eligible

As of 2025, Saudi Arabia's tourist eVisa programme covers 49+ eligible nationalities โ€” primarily Western, East Asian, and select other countries. The list continues to expand.

During Ramadan (the Islamic month of fasting), non-Muslims must refrain from eating, drinking, or smoking in public during daylight hours โ€” this is enforced by law, not just custom. The dates of Ramadan shift approximately 11 days earlier each year. Check the exact Ramadan dates for your travel year โ€” visiting during Ramadan is possible and can be a fascinating cultural experience, but tourist services and restaurant hours are significantly altered.
