Saudi Arabia tourist visa for Nepali citizens

A visa is required through the Saudi embassy/consulate — Saudi Arabia's tourist eVisa is confirmed NOT available to Nepali citizens (limited to a pre-approved list of about 68 countries).

Saudi Arabia's official tourist eVisa portal explicitly lists eligible nationalities, and Nepal is not among them. Nepali citizens instead need to apply for a visa through the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs' diplomatic channel — check with the nearest Saudi diplomatic mission for the current process.

Steps

  1. Contact the nearest Saudi diplomatic mission — Since the tourist eVisa isn't available to Nepali citizens, check with the Saudi embassy/consulate handling Nepal for the current traditional visa process.
  2. Gather required documents — Prepare your passport, photos, travel itinerary, proof of funds, and accommodation details.
  3. Submit your application and pay the fee — Follow the mission's specific submission instructions and pay the applicable fee.
  4. Wait for your visa — Confirm current processing times directly with the mission when you submit.
