How much does a Saudi Arabia visa cost?

The government fee is $143 and the vistolane filing fee is $35, so the all-in price is $178 per traveller. Airport transfers and attention plans (Assisted, Concierge, Max) are optional extras shown before you pay.

How long does a Saudi Arabia visa take?

The published decision window is 1 to 3 days (about 3 days from submission). vistolane quotes a guaranteed decision date before you pay and refunds the filing fee if the authority misses it for a reason on our side.

Do I need biometrics or an interview for Saudi Arabia?

No. Saudi Arabia decides on the documents alone; there is no biometrics appointment or interview for this visa.

How much money do I need to show for a Saudi Arabia tourist visa?

Indicative proof of funds is $1,200 for a visitor, rising to $270,000 for the most demanding route. Bank statements should cover the last three to six months and match the trip you describe.

How long can I stay in Saudi Arabia and how many entries do I get?

The visa allows a stay of up to 90 days per visit with multiple entry. Validity is 1 year. Overstaying, even by a day, is recorded and affects future applications.

Can I apply for the Saudi Arabia visa myself?

Yes. The checklist on this page is the one vistolane uses. Most applicants let vistolane file the tourist and student routes because the guaranteed date and document checks remove the two main causes of refusal; work, family and investor routes go to a licence-checked partner.
