Eligibility
The conditional route for Indians
India is not on the direct eVisa country list, but Indian citizens can still apply online if their passport evidences one of the following. The supporting visa must be used — an entry stamp in the current passport — because an unused visa is usually not accepted.
✓ Used US visa
Any valid US tourist or business visa with an entry stamp on your current passport.
✓ Used UK visa
A valid UK visit visa you have already travelled on.
✓ Used Schengen visa
Any valid Schengen visa with proof of entry on the same passport.
✓ US Green Card
Valid permanent resident card evidence in line with the passport.
✓ UK or EU residence
Valid residence permit from the UK or an EU member state.
✓ GCC residency
Valid residency in the UAE, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, or Kuwait for 3+ months.
Hold none of these? The Saudi sticker visa route through the embassy or a licensed sponsor (Umrah operator, employer, or hosting family member) is the fallback — processing is slower and documents are filed in person.

Can Indian citizens apply for a Saudi eVisa? +
Indians are not on the direct eVisa list, but they qualify through the conditional route: a used US, UK, or Schengen visa, a US Green Card, UK or EU residence, or GCC residency valid 3+ months.
Is a used visa really required? +
Yes — the supporting visa or residence permit should show an entry stamp proving you already travelled on it. An unused visa is usually not accepted.
What if I do not hold any of those documents? +
Then the sticker visa route through the Saudi embassy or consulate applies, typically sponsored by an employer, family member, or a licensed Umrah operator.
Can Indians perform Umrah on the eVisa? +
Yes, once the eVisa is approved. Umrah is allowed outside Hajj season and needs an additional permit booked via the Nusuk app. Hajj itself needs a separate visa.
How much does it cost? +
$219.00 total — $158.00 visa charge including mandatory insurance, plus $61.00 service for pre-check and filing.
How fast is processing? +
As fast as 24 hours once filed. Apply a few days before departure to keep a buffer for corrections.
