Visitors to Saudi Arabia must obtain a visa, unless they come from one of the visa exempt countries.

Some visitors are eligible to obtain a visa online or on arrival while others needs to apply at one of the Saudi diplomatic missions in advance. All visitors must hold a passport valid for 6 months.

Passport stamp received at Medina Airport in 2019 that reads 'He is not allowed to perform Umrah and Hajj', highlighting Saudi Arabia's visa restrictions at that time. Until 2020, non-Umrah visa holders were not permitted to perform the rites of Umrah.[1]
