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

Yes. Dutch passport holders need a visa, but you apply online for a tourist eVisa with no embassy visit. Choose single entry (90-day validity) or multiple entry (valid one year), and the approved eVisa arrives by email as a printable PDF.

Yes. KLM flies nonstop from Amsterdam to Riyadh, and Saudia flies nonstop from Amsterdam to Jeddah, both in around six hours. Each runs a few times a week rather than daily, so check the exact days when you book.

Yes, outside the Hajj season. Your tourist eVisa covers entry, and the Umrah permit itself is free through the official Nusuk app. During the Hajj season, entry to Makkah is limited to Hajj-permit holders.

The eVisa fee is charged in US dollars, and your euro Visa or Mastercard is billed at your bank's exchange rate. Inside Saudi Arabia you spend in riyals, and cards are widely accepted. Apple Pay and Google Pay work for the application too.

Saudi Arabia is 1 hour ahead of the Netherlands in summer and 2 hours ahead in winter, since Saudi Arabia does not change its clocks. Jet lag is minimal on a trip from Amsterdam.

No. Saudi Arabia states there is no restriction based on the countries you have previously visited, so an Israeli stamp in your Dutch passport is not a stated bar to a tourist eVisa.

English is widely used across Saudi tourism, hotels, airports and the eVisa system, so Dutch travellers get by comfortably without Arabic. Our own application support is provided in English.

November to March offers the mildest weather across Riyadh, Jeddah and AlUla, and lines up with Riyadh Season. The June to August months are extremely hot, especially inland.

Everyday crime is low, and women can travel and stay in hotels independently, with no male guardian required for tourists. Always check the Dutch government's reisadvies via Nederland Wereldwijd for the current advisory before you book.

Yes. The tourist eVisa covers business meetings, conferences and site visits, which suits the strong Netherlands to Saudi Arabia trade links. It does not cover taking up paid employment, which needs a work visa.

A single-entry eVisa is valid for 90 days with up to a 90-day stay. A multiple-entry eVisa is valid for one year with up to 90 days per visit, ideal if you plan to return within the year.

A Dutch passport valid at least 6 months from arrival, a recent white-background passport photo taken within the last 6 months, and a confirmed hotel booking (we can add one for $5 at checkout). No bank statements, invitation letter, or return ticket are needed.

All-inclusive prices run from $209 for single entry (Standard, 72 hours) up to $279 for multiple entry (Express, 6 hours), in US dollars with the government fees included. There are no hidden add-ons.

Choose Express and your approved eVisa can arrive in as little as 6 hours, or Priority within 24 hours. Standard (72 hours) is the value option when you are planning ahead.

Yes. Every traveller, including infants and minors, needs a separate application, even if the child is on a parent's passport. You can submit the whole family's applications together, a few minutes each.

The nonstop flights serve Riyadh (RUH) and Jeddah (JED), but your eVisa is valid at every Saudi entry point, including Dammam (DMM) and Madinah (MED) and the land and sea borders.

Yes. Saudi Arabia's mandatory travel health insurance is bundled into your eVisa and covers emergency medical care during your stay. It does not cover trip cancellation or lost baggage, so a separate travel policy is still worth having.

No. SaudieVisa.com is a private visa-assistance service operated by Travel Rox, Inc., not affiliated with the Saudi government. You may also apply directly on the official portal at a lower cost. Our fee covers expert document review, error prevention, photo validation, tracking and dedicated support.
