The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has published its updated entry guidelines for 2026, opening its borders to international travellers from 66 eligible countries through a streamlined digital immigration portal.
Under the new framework, international visitors can now secure an electronic visa (eVisa) prior to departure through an online application process that reduces traditional visa acquisition to a few digital steps involving an online application and direct fee payment.
The tourist eVisa is issued as a one-year, multiple-entry document, permitting international travellers to spend up to 90 days in the country per visit.
The permit covers leisure travel, family visits, attendance at local events and the performance of the Umrah pilgrimage, though it strictly excludes educational study and the annual Hajj pilgrimage.
