Business Visa Processing Delays Due to Hajj Season
April 11, 2025Visa on Arrival Still Available for Eligible UK, US, and Schengen Visa Holders
📅 Date: April 2025
If you hold a valid visa or residency from the UK, USA, or a Schengen country, you may be eligible for a Visa on Arrival when entering Saudi Arabia.
This convenient option is open to travelers who meet the following criteria:
- Must hold a valid tourist or business visa (not expired) from the UK, US, or Schengen area
- Must have entered that country at least once using the same visa
- The passport must be valid for at least 6 months
This streamlined process is ideal for short business visits, tourism, and attending events without going through the traditional embassy route. However, visa-on-arrival eligibility is always subject to the discretion of immigration officers.
