How to Apply for an Umrah Visa / Saudi eVisa Online

Looking for the Umrah visa application form? Saudi Arabia no longer uses paper Umrah visa forms for travelers from the United States. US citizens and most green-card holders apply online for the Saudi tourist eVisa, which can be used for Umrah outside the Hajj season. Other pilgrims use an Umrah visa issued with a Nusuk-linked package. Everyone then books a Nusuk Umrah permit in the Nusuk app. Fill out the form on this page with your travel dates, number of nights, number of travelers and preferred hotel category (3, 4 or 5-star), and our team will send you an Umrah package quote and help you with your visa.

Step 1: Choose the Right Visa

US citizens and green-card holders: the tourist eVisa at visa.visitsaudi.com is usually best. It is generally valid for 1 year with multiple entries and stays of up to 90 days, at about SAR 480–535 including insurance (fees change).
Non-US nationals living in the US (or anyone not eligible for the eVisa): an Umrah visa through a Nusuk package with a licensed provider. You must enter within 30 days of issue.
Frequent visitors: ask us about the new multiple-entry Umrah visa (1 year, up to 90 days in total).
Not for Hajj: none of these visas can be used for Hajj, and they can't be used to enter Makkah during the Hajj-season closure.

How to Apply for the Saudi Tourist eVisa (for Umrah)

Step 1

1. Check eligibility

US passport holders qualify. Green-card holders usually qualify (some nationalities face extra restrictions), as do some holders of a used US visa.

Pay the visa fee, which includes mandatory medical insurance, by card.

Print it and save a copy on your phone. Check that all the details are correct.

In the Nusuk app (nusuk.sa), choose your Umrah date and time slot, plus a Rawdah visit if desired.

Common Questions

Can I download a paper Umrah visa application form?

No. There's no downloadable Umrah visa form for US travelers. Applications are made online (on the eVisa portal or through your Umrah provider). Use the form on this page if you'd like our help.

How long does it take to get the visa?

Tourist eVisas are often issued quickly, sometimes the same day, but allow 1–2 weeks to be safe. Umrah visas must be used within 30 days of issue, so we time the application around your travel date.

Do I still need a Nusuk permit if I have a visa?

Yes. The visa lets you enter Saudi Arabia, and the Nusuk permit lets you perform Umrah. Every pilgrim needs one.

Can you guarantee my visa?

No one can guarantee a visa. Visas and permits are issued by Saudi authorities. We'll check your documents carefully to avoid delays.

What happens after I submit the form on this page?

Our team will contact you with a quote for your chosen package and help with your visa and Nusuk permit. Submitting the form doesn't commit you to anything.
