Saudi Visa from Austria, Approved in as Little as 6 Hours

Yes, but you will not set foot in an embassy. The Saudi tourist eVisa is completed online by Austrian applicants in minutes, in single or multiple entry, and returned by email as a ready-to-print document.

Austrian Airlines and Saudia link Vienna with Riyadh and Jeddah, and Gulf carriers such as Qatar Airways, Emirates and Etihad offer frequent one-stop routes. Journeys run around five to nine hours depending on the routing.

You are welcome to, except during Hajj. Entry is on the eVisa and the Umrah permit is complimentary in the Nusuk app; when Hajj is on, Makkah admits only those with a Hajj permit.

The fee is charged in US dollars, but your euro Visa or Mastercard is accepted and billed at your bank's exchange rate. Apple Pay and Google Pay work too, so you can apply from anywhere in Austria.

Saudi Arabia is 1 hour ahead of Austria in summer and 2 hours ahead in winter, since Saudi Arabia keeps the same time all year. Jet lag is minimal.

Vienna is a long-standing centre of global energy diplomacy and hosts major international organisations, giving Austria close institutional ties with Gulf states including Saudi Arabia. Austrian culture also features in Riyadh Season's classical programme.

English is widely spoken in tourist areas and major hotels, and German-speaking guides can be arranged in AlUla and larger cities. Our own application support is provided in English.

November to March offers mild weather across Riyadh, Jeddah and AlUla, and overlaps with Riyadh Season. Summers inland are extremely hot, so cooler months are ideal.

Everyday crime is low, and women travel and stay in hotels independently, with no male guardian required for tourists. Check the Austrian Foreign Ministry (BMEIA) travel advice for the current advisory before you book.

No. Saudi Arabia says entry is not restricted by the countries you have visited before, so an Israeli stamp in your Austrian passport is not a stated obstacle to a tourist eVisa.

With single entry you get one trip of up to 90 days inside a 90-day window. Multiple entry stretches to a year and lets you come and go, up to 90 days per stay.

Have your Austrian passport (valid six months beyond arrival), a recent passport-style photo on a plain white background, and a hotel reservation ready. Missing a booking? We add one for $5. Bank statements and return tickets are not needed.

Pricing is transparent: $209 for the cheapest option and $279 for the fastest multiple-entry visa, in US dollars, government fees included, no hidden extras.

Need it now? Express can approve your eVisa within about six hours and Priority within 24. Standard, up to 72 hours, is the economical pick for early planners.

A visa per person applies to minors too, even infants on a parent's passport. Parents complete the forms and can send the whole family's at the same time.

Fly into Riyadh (RUH), Jeddah (JED), Dammam (DMM) or Madinah (MED), or cross an approved land or sea border, the eVisa is honoured at each.

Emergency medical insurance is required and comes bundled with the eVisa. Because it excludes cancellation and lost baggage, pairing it with a standard travel plan is sensible.
