Overview

About the Saudi Arabia visa for Indians

Indian citizens need a visa for Saudi Arabia. Travellers who hold a valid US, UK or Schengen visa that has been used at least once, or a residence permit from one of these, may qualify for the Saudi tourist e-Visa or a visa on arrival. Most other Indian applicants apply for a tourist, business or family visit visa through the authorised visa centre, which includes fingerprint and photo biometrics. Umrah visas are issued through approved Umrah service providers, and entry type and validity are set by the Saudi authorities.

Audvik guides you through each step. We confirm which visa route fits your profile, prepare and check your documents, complete the online application, help you book the biometrics appointment and track progress until the visa is issued. For pilgrims and families, we can also arrange flights, hotels close to the Haram and ground transport, subject to the latest Saudi rules.

Saudi Arabia visa FAQs

Do Indians need a visa for Saudi Arabia?

Yes. Indian passport holders need a visa for Saudi Arabia. Those holding a used US, UK or Schengen visa, or a residence permit from these, may qualify for the tourist e-Visa or visa on arrival. Other Indian travellers usually apply for a tourist, business, family visit or Umrah visa before departure.

Saudi Arabia has allowed tourist visa holders to perform Umrah outside the Hajj season, provided they book a permit through the official Nusuk app. Rules can change around Ramadan and Hajj, so please check with us before booking. A dedicated Umrah visa through an approved provider is another option.

Processing typically takes 5–10 working days after biometrics for tourist and business visas, while e-Visas for eligible travellers can be quicker. Family visit visas may take longer because the invitation must first be approved in Saudi Arabia. Apply early, especially before Ramadan, school holidays and the Hajj season.

Yes, most Indian applicants for a tourist, business or family visit visa must give fingerprints and a photograph at the authorised visa centre, or through the official Saudi biometrics app where it is accepted. Audvik helps you book the slot and tells you exactly what to carry on the day.

Yes. Audvik can book flights, hotels in Makkah, Madinah, Riyadh or Jeddah, and ground transport alongside your visa application. Matching bookings help keep your file consistent. Please note that visa approval always remains at the discretion of the Saudi authorities, so we recommend refundable bookings until your visa is issued.
