Saudi Visa for German Citizens

German nationals traveling to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for tourism purposes should apply online for a Saudi e-visa prior to their trip. With a Saudi e-visa German travelers can enter Saudi Arabia multiple times, for 90 days each stay during the one-year visa validity period, or can enter once for a 30-day stay during the 3-month visa validity period. Please note that the Saudi e-visa includes Umrah pilgrimage, except during Hajj season. German citizens are eligible to obtain a Saudi visa-on-arrival, but applying online for a Saudi e-visa, prior to travel, helps avoid long airport lines and delays.

German citizens seeking work in Saudi Arabia should apply for the Saudi work visa, which permits a 90-day stay in Saudi Arabia, during which time the German visitor should apply for a Saudi residence visa. Along with the Saudi work permit, or Iqama, the Saudi residence visa allows the German national to live and work long-term in Saudi Arabia. For short-term work activities, such as corporate events, business meetings, or negotiations, the German citizen is required to hold a Saudi business visa, which is applied for by a Saudi host company on the German visitor’s behalf. The Saudi business visa is a single-entry visa valid for 3 months, allowing a 30-day stay (extendable), or as a multiple-entry visa valid for 6 months or 1 year, allowing a 90-day stay each visit (non-extendable).

Please be advised that overstays in Saudi Arabia will result in fines and deportation, so be aware of your Saudi visa validity dates and permitted stay duration in Saudi Arabia.

Our tourist visa is 1 of the most famous Visa category.

Transit visa

A transit visa – for when you are simply just passing through on your way to another country. For those who have layover of over 12 hours, PCs are positioned to be developed.
