Saudi Arabia eVisa Requirements for Citizens of Germany

Before applying for a Saudi Arabia eVisaas German, you are advised to read the visa requirements for German travelers.

The basic requirements for the Saudi eVisa include the following:

• Have a German passport valid for at least 6 months on your arrival date in Saudi Arabia
• Uploading a personal photo (passport-style) that is recent, clear and with a white background
• Registering your eVisa petition with a valid email address
• Providing a debit or credit card to pay the eVisa processing fee

Germans with a passport set to expire shortly (within 180 days of your arrival date) should request a renewal at their earliest convenience. The eVisa is a unique travel permit that cannot be transferred to a second document.

This is important for German nationals with dual citizenship. If you reach Saudi Arabia with a passport different from the one you applied for your eVisa with, you will not be authorized entry.

Important: All communications, including the approval and issuing of the eVisa, will be carried out by email.

German citizens can submit their request for the Saudi eVisa online and within 30 minutes.

The electronic visa application form is a simple questionnaire that will require Germans to share the following personal and passport information:

• Full name
• Nationality
• Gender
• Date of birth
• Passport number
• Passport expiry date

Nationals of Germany will also have to provide their travel plans, such as arrival date and accommodation details, and finally, address some health and security related questions. It is essential to review your answers carefully since any minor errors could delay the approval process or lead to a denial.

The average processing time of a Saudi Arabia eVisa is generally between 1 to 5 business days. We recommend that German citizens apply for the Saudi Arabia eVisa at least 7 days before their trip to account for busy touristic periods.

If German travelers have submitted their eVisa form correctly and meet the requirements mentioned above, they you should receive an approved eVisa, which will be electronally linked to their passport.

You will be notified in a confirmation email. The online visa to Saudi Arabia must be printed out to be presented in the border.

Once German applicants have received notification of their eVisa approval, they can travel to Saudi Arabia. The eVisa grants them a full year to enter multiple times into the country.

Upon reaching a border crossing in Saudi Arabia, visitors of Germany are recommended to head straight to the queues for eVisa holders to save time.

You will be required to submit your passport for inspection before being allowed to enter the country. It is also important that you abide by the permitted dates for entry and departure on your Saudi eVisa. The electronic visa to Saudi Arabia cannot be extended for international visitors.
