Saudi visa for citizens of Russia

Your passport

Citizens of Russia can visit Saudi Arabia without a visa for up to 90 days. The one-year tourist eVisa is also available if you visit often.

1. Visa-free entry, up to 90 days

   A mutual visa exemption lets you visit for tourism, business or family for up to 90 days. Check the latest conditions with your airline before you fly.

2. Tourist eVisa (online)

   Apply on visa.visitsaudi.com in about ten minutes; most decisions arrive by email within minutes to a few days. Valid one year, multiple entry, up to 90 days per visit. Covers tourism, events, family visits and Umrah outside Hajj season — not Hajj, work or study. The fee includes mandatory medical insurance.

3. Visa on arrival

   The same visa issued at the immigration counter of Saudi international airports — useful if you didn’t apply in advance. Applying online first is faster.

4. Umrah visa

   For Muslims travelling for Umrah: the visa is issued with an Umrah package from a licensed agent through the Nusuk system — darbiya arranges the visa, hotels, transport and permits. Umrah visas are not issued in the weeks around Hajj.

5. Free stopover visa — up to 96 hours

   Flying Saudia or flynas through a Saudi airport to another country? Add the free stopover visa while booking (small insurance and admin fee). Stay up to four days — enough for Umrah with a Nusuk permit and a visit to Madinah.
