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

They do, but there is no trip to a consulate. Portuguese travellers apply online for a tourist eVisa, choosing a 90-day single entry or a one-year multiple entry, and receive the approved visa by email.

There is no nonstop service today, but Lisbon and Porto connect to Riyadh and Jeddah in a single stop via Madrid, Istanbul, or a Gulf hub such as Doha or Dubai. Total journeys run around nine to eleven hours.

Yes. Outside the Hajj period, Portuguese visitors perform Umrah on the tourist eVisa, adding a free permit in the Nusuk app before heading to Makkah. When Hajj is on, only Hajj-permit holders may enter the holy city.

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 Portugal.

Saudi Arabia is 2 hours ahead of Portugal in summer and 3 hours ahead in winter, since Saudi Arabia keeps the same time all year. Jet lag is minimal.

During the Age of Discovery, Portuguese navigators charted the sea routes linking Europe to Arabia and the Indian Ocean, and Arabic left its mark on the Portuguese language. Visiting Saudi Arabia traces those historic ties to their source.

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

October to March offers mild, pleasant weather across Riyadh, Jeddah and AlUla, and overlaps with Riyadh Season. Summers are extremely hot, especially inland, so cooler months are best.

Everyday crime is low, and women travel and stay in hotels independently, with no male guardian required for tourists. Check the Portuguese Ministry of Foreign Affairs Portal das Comunidades for the current advisory before you book.

No. Officially, previous travel is not a factor in eVisa approval, so a stamp from Israel in a Portuguese passport is not a stated reason for denial.

The single-entry option runs for 90 days and allows a stay of up to 90 days. The multiple-entry option is valid twelve months, with each individual visit capped at 90 days.

Requirements are light: a six-month-valid Portuguese passport, a recent plain-background photo, and a confirmed booking, addable for $5 at checkout. You do not need bank statements, a letter of invitation, or an onward ticket.

Costs begin at $209 for a single-entry Standard visa and reach $279 for a multiple-entry Express, priced in US dollars and inclusive of the government fee, with no add-ons.

If time is short, Express (around six hours) or Priority (24 hours) move fast; when it is not, Standard within 72 hours keeps the cost down.

Yes. Each traveller, infants and children included, needs their own application, even if listed on a parent's passport. Families can file everyone together in one sitting.

You can enter through any Saudi port of entry, including the four main international airports, RUH, JED, DMM and MED, plus recognised land and sea borders.

Yes, emergency medical insurance is bundled in as required by Saudi Arabia. It does not extend to cancelled trips or lost luggage, which a standard travel policy would handle.

No. We are an independent visa-assistance company, not the Saudi government, and applying on the official portal costs less. Our service fee pays for document checks, photo validation, tracking and support.
