How this access rule is documented

  1. Current official routeVisa on arrival

    Current nationality-wide ordinary-passport visa-on-arrival cohort

    The live Saudi Tourism Authority visa-regulations widget places these passport nationalities in groups that offer both eVisa and visa on arrival. Under the easiest-access taxonomy, the direct arrival route is visa_on_arrival.

    • The live widget offers either an eVisa or a visa on arrival. For arrival issuance, it directs the traveller to a self-service KIOSK or passport-control office at the Saudi entry point.
    • The widget states that both eVisa and visa on arrival may be single- or multiple-entry. Multiple entry is valid for one year and allows no more than 90 consecutive days; single entry is valid for three months and allows no more than 90 consecutive days.
    • Visitors must have a passport valid at least six months beyond entry, except that US citizens may enter while the passport remains valid. Travellers under 18 may need to travel with a parent, grandparent, or adult sibling.
    • Tourism and Umrah are within the visitor materials; work, study, residence, Hajj, transit, crew, diplomatic, special-document and other purpose routes are outside this ordinary-passport visitor classification. Umrah permits may be required through Nusuk.
    • Approval or arrival issuance does not guarantee admission; border, security, document and local-law requirements remain applicable.
    • The older eVisa terms and portal lists are not fully concordant with the live widget. The live route API is used for route precedence; Brazil remains unresolved because it appears on an older public list but is noneligible in the current widget.
