Saudi Arabia Visa: Common errors to avoid in your application

Updated on Sep 09, 2024

When applying for a Saudi Arabia Tourist eVisa, the last thing you want is an error in your application.

Filling out visa applications can be tricky. Small mistakes, like entering the wrong information or skipping a necessary detail, can delay the processing of your application or even lead to a denial. We’re here to show you the typical errors made so you can avoid them and boost your chances of getting your visa.

Fill me in

With our help, you’ll soon be wandering through the bustling markets of Jeddah or taking in the historic sites of Al-Ula. Let's get started.

Top mistakes to avoid in your Saudi Arabia eVisa application

Here are the most common pitfalls and how to avoid them:

Applying from a country not eligible for an eVisa

Your application won't be processed if your country isn't on the list of those that can apply for a Saudi eVisa.

What to do instead: Always check if your country is eligible on the official Saudi eVisa website before starting your application.

Not meeting visa requirements

Applications are denied if applicants don't meet all the visa criteria, such as having a passport that's valid for six months after their trip.

What to do instead: Make sure you meet every requirement, like passport validity and submitting the proper documents, before applying.

Health criteria not met

Failure to meet the stated health requirements can lead to visa denial.

What to do instead: Ensure you meet the required health checks and get vaccinated as outlined in the Saudi Ministry of Health website. Also, make sure you have a valid health insurance that covers your stay in Saudi Arabia.

Visa photo does not meet standards

If your visa photo doesn't meet the specific requirements for size, background, or clarity, it will be rejected.

What to do instead: Use a recent photo that meets all the Saudi visa photo requirements.

Missing or incorrect supporting documents

Failing to include all necessary documents, or submitting them incorrectly, can delay the processing of your visa application.

What to do instead: Carefully review and include all required documents as specified, especially for specific visa types like business visas.

Incorrect information

Any mismatch between your application and official documents can result in your visa being denied.

What to do instead: Double-check your application to make sure every detail matches your official documents perfectly.

Thinking an eVisa guarantees entry into Saudi Arabia

Being granted an eVisa does not guarantee you'll be allowed into Saudi Arabia; that decision is up to the border officials.

What to do instead: Be prepared to show all relevant travel documents and answer any questions at the border to support your reason for visiting.

How to improve your chances of a successful application

Fill me in

Instead of worrying about whether you checked for all the errors in your visa application, consider applying for your Saudi Arabia eVisa through our platform.

We simplify the application process with an easy-to-understand application form that makes it easy to provide accurate information. Before your application goes to the Saudi authorities, one of our visa experts will check it to ensure everything is correct and complete.

This extra step helps prevent common mistakes that could cause delays or rejections, increasing the chance that your visa application will be successful.
