  5. Return or onward ticket

    Visit Saudi lists a return ticket among the documents required to obtain an Embassy/Consulate/Tasheer visa. No official source we could read states an onward or return ticket requirement for eVisa, visa-on-arrival or visa-exempt visitors.

  6. Proof of funds

    Visit Saudi lists financial solvency or a bank statement among the documents required to obtain an Embassy/Consulate/Tasheer visa. No amount is published, and no official source we could read states a funds requirement for other visitors.

  7. Travel insurance

    Visit Saudi says medical insurance fees are included in the price of the tourist eVisa and the visa on arrival, but not included when you qualify only through a GCC residence permit or a US, UK or Schengen visa or residence permit (price determined by the provider). The UK FCDO says an e-visa includes health insurance up to SAR 100,000.

  8. Vaccinations

    Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Health requires everyone intending to perform Umrah in 1447H (2026), from all countries, to be vaccinated against meningococcal meningitis (including serogroup ACYW) at least 10 days before arrival; individuals from the countries listed in its table 1, mostly in Africa, must provide a vaccination certificate. The same regulations require polio vaccination of individuals arriving from listed countries.

  9. Vaccinations

    WHO's country list marks Saudi Arabia as requiring proof of yellow fever vaccination from travellers aged 9 months and over arriving from countries at risk of yellow fever transmission, including travellers who transited more than 12 hours through the airport of such a country.
