Saudi visa for citizens of Venezuela

Citizens of Venezuela need a visa for Saudi Arabia and are not on the tourist eVisa list. You can still travel on an Umrah visa arranged through a licensed agent, a free 96-hour stopover visa with Saudia or flynas, or the eVisa if you hold a used US, UK or Schengen visa or live in the GCC, the US, the UK or the EU.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

    For tourism or family visits without the routes above, apply for a visit visa through the Saudi embassy or its appointed visa centre in your country.

Questions travellers ask

Can citizens of Venezuela get the Saudi eVisa?

Not directly — Venezuela is not on the eVisa list. You can still apply if you hold a valid US, UK or Schengen visa used at least once, are a permanent resident of the US, UK or EU, or live in a GCC country.

Can citizens of Venezuela perform Umrah?

Yes, on an Umrah visa issued with a package from a licensed Umrah agent, or during a free 96-hour stopover with Saudia or flynas (with a Nusuk permit). darbiya arranges Umrah packages and tailor-made Umrah trips.

How long can citizens of Venezuela stay in Saudi Arabia?

It depends on the visa: the stopover visa allows 96 hours, Umrah visas cover the dates of your package, and the eVisa (if you qualify through a US, UK or Schengen visa or GCC/US/UK/EU residence) allows up to 90 days per visit.

Can I perform Hajj on a tourist visa?

No. Tourist, stopover and Umrah visas are not valid for Hajj. Hajj needs a Hajj visa and permit through your country’s Hajj quota or Nusuk Hajj.
