Saudi Arabia e-Visa for South Africa Citizens

Citizens of South Africa can apply for a Saudi Arabia e-Visa online before travel for tourism, visiting family/friends, events, transit, or Umrah without needing to visit a Saudi embassy or consulate.

The Saudi e-Visa must be obtained prior to departure and is typically valid for up to 1 year with multiple entries, allowing stays of up to 90 days per visit in Saudi Arabia.

To apply, South African travelers generally need a valid passport (with at least 6 months validity), a recent passport-style photo, travel details, and a valid email address to receive the e-Visa electronically. Once approved, present the e-Visa with your passport at Saudi Arabia’s port of entry upon arrival.
