Frequently asked questions
Who needs a visa to enter Saudi Arabia?
Most non-GCC nationals need a visa. GCC citizens and residents of certain countries may have different rules. Check your passport's eligibility before applying.
What does the 1 Year Multiple Entry visa allow?
It permits multiple entries into Saudi Arabia over a one-year validity period, suitable for tourism, family visits, and repeat travel within that year.
Can I perform Umrah on this visa?
Yes. Eligible nationalities can perform Umrah on the Saudi tourist visa without a separate Umrah visa. You must register your Umrah permit through the official Nusuk app before performing it.
Can I perform Hajj on this visa?
No. Hajj cannot be performed on a tourist visa. It requires a separate Hajj visa under the quota system.
How long does processing take?
Standard applications process within the published timeframe. Express processing is available for urgent travel at a higher fee.
What is Rambelz Shield?
Rambelz Shield is our refund protection. If your application is rejected, you receive a 100% refund. Added security for applicants who want financial protection against rejection.
Does Rambelz Shield guarantee approval?
No. No agency can guarantee approval, as the decision rests with Saudi authorities. Shield guarantees your money back if rejected, not that the visa will be approved.
What documents do I need?
A passport valid at least six months from arrival, a recent passport-style photo on a white background, and basic personal details. Requirements vary by nationality; our team confirms your exact list.
Do I need a hotel booking and return ticket?
A confirmed hotel booking and onward or return flight are commonly requested for the tourist visa. We arrange these for you, along with the rest of your travel documents.
Do I need travel insurance?
Travel insurance is required for the Saudi tourist visa. We provide it as part of your application and covered in the price, so you do not need to arrange it separately.
Do I need a bank statement or proof of funds?
Some nationalities may be asked to show proof of sufficient funds. The application form lists the exact documents required for your nationality before you submit, so you will know upfront. For assisted help, our team is available on chat.
