US & UK Travellers Can Now Acquire Instant E-Visas to Saudi Arabia

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has announced new instant e-visa options that will simplify travel arrangements for travellers from the UK and the US, as well as Schengen visa holders. The move is part of Saudi Arabia's goal to attract 100 million visitors annually by 2030, and comes on the heels of a record-breaking 93.5 million visits to the country in 2022.

To support this growth, the Saudi Tourism Authority has launched several initiatives including the Nusuk platform for pilgrims and visitors, the extension of e-visa eligibility to GCC residents, and the introduction of a Stopover Visa.
