Our service fee starts at 350 SAR, plus the official Saudi eVisa fee (which includes mandatory medical insurance) paid directly via the Saudi eVisa portal.

A family visit or business visa requires an invitation letter from a Saudi sponsor. The tourist eVisa does not. We clarify the exact requirement per visa type.
