What is the Saudi eVisa Waiver (electronic visa waiver)?

The Saudi eVisa Waiver is the same product as the electronic visa waiver: an online authorisation for eligible British passport holders, usually single entry with up to six months validity and stay depending on what you are issued. Common permitted reasons include Umrah (outside Hajj unless you have the correct Hajj permit), tourism, business, medical treatment, and study. The official fee paid to Saudi Arabia is typically about £30–£35 (often around £33) in pounds after conversion and does not include emergency medical or travel insurance. Our paid assistance is £49 Standard or £65 Priority per person on top — only for British passport holders — also without insurance. Rules and fees are set by the Saudi authorities.

Do you only help British passport holders?

Yes. Assisted applications on this website are only for people who hold a British passport and are applying from the United Kingdom. Pricing is in pounds: the Saudi waiver fee is usually about £30–£35, plus £49 Standard or £65 Priority per person for our help; medical or travel insurance is not included in those amounts.

How do I apply for the Saudi eVisa Waiver from the UK?

As a British passport holder you apply through Saudi Arabia’s official online process (visa.mofa.gov.sa): passport and scans, any supporting items their form asks for, a compliant photo, itinerary and flight details as required, and payment in pounds. There is no embassy visit. With our help you upload here and we review your file before you pay our £49 Standard or £65 Priority assistance fee on top of the usual ~£30–£35 official waiver fee — neither includes medical or travel insurance.

How much does the Saudi eVisa Waiver cost for British passport holders?

The official Saudi electronic visa waiver fee is usually about £30–£35 (often around £33) per person when you pay the authorities directly — it does not include travel or medical insurance for your trip. Our assistance is £49 Standard or £65 Priority per person on top of that official fee and also does not include insurance. We show pounds totals at checkout before you pay.
