Saudi Visa for Indians with US, UK, or Schengen Visa
Complete visa requirements for Indian passport holders
Indian passport holders normally need a Saudi visa. A valid US, UK, or Schengen tourist or business visa can qualify you for an eVisa or visa on arrival only if it has already been used to enter the issuing country.
Guide updated: 27 September 2026
Special Condition
Hold a valid, previously used US, UK or Schengen tourist/business visa, or permanent residence in the US, UK or an EU country
Requirement: eVisa or Visa on Arrival
The supporting tourist/business visa must be valid and used at least once to enter its issuing country. GACA specifies the issuer's entry stamp; confirm acceptable evidence before travel if your entry was recorded only digitally. The cited rule does not state that the supporting visa must be multiple-entry. Permanent residence is a separate route without this visa-use condition.
