The eVisa Revolution: Launched in 2019, Saudi Arabia's eVisa system allows Georgian citizens to apply online for tourist, business, and Umrah visas. The process is straightforward: complete the online application form, upload required documents (passport scan, photograph), pay the visa fee (SAR 535 for tourist visas), and receive approval via email within 24-72 hours. The eVisa is valid for multiple entries over one year, with each stay up to 90 days. This system has transformed Saudi Arabia from one of the most difficult countries to visit into one of the most accessible Gulf destinations.
Visa Categories Overview: Tourist eVisas are perfect for leisure travel, exploring the Kingdom's heritage sites, modern cities, and natural attractions. Business visas accommodate commercial activities, meetings, and investment exploration in Saudi Arabia's rapidly growing economy. Work visas require employer sponsorship and involve coordination with the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development. Umrah visas enable Muslim pilgrims to perform religious duties in Mecca and Medina. Family visas allow relatives of Saudi residents to join their families in the Kingdom.
Key Requirements and Considerations: All applicants need valid passports with at least 6 months validity, recent photographs meeting Saudi specifications, and proof of accommodation. Tourist visa applicants must demonstrate sufficient financial means and have travel insurance. Business travelers need invitation letters or proof of business activities. Work visa applicants must have employment contracts and undergo medical examinations. Umrah visa applicants must be Muslim and provide religious documentation. All visa holders must respect Saudi laws, customs, and Islamic principles.
Cultural and Legal Considerations: Saudi Arabia is a conservative Islamic country with specific cultural norms and legal requirements. Visitors must dress modestly, respect prayer times, and avoid activities prohibited in Islam (alcohol, pork, certain entertainment). Women should dress conservatively and may need male guardianship for certain activities. The Kingdom has recently relaxed many restrictions, but cultural sensitivity remains important for a successful visit.

Visit the official Saudi eVisa portal (visa.visitsaudi.com) for tourist, business, and Umrah visas. This is the only legitimate government site—avoid third-party sites charging inflated fees. Create an account with your email address and personal details.
Fill out the eVisa application form with personal details, passport information, travel dates, accommodation in Saudi Arabia, and purpose of visit. Ensure all information matches your passport exactly—any discrepancy can cause rejection or delays.
Upload clear scanned copy of passport bio page (JPEG/PDF) and recent passport photo meeting Saudi specifications (white background, color, proper dimensions). Ensure files are under maximum size limits and clearly readable. For Umrah visa, upload religious documentation.
Processing typically takes 24-72 hours for tourist and business eVisas, 3-5 days for Umrah visas. Check your email (including spam folder) for approval notification. You can also track your application status on the eVisa portal using your reference number.
