Poland to Saudi Arabia visa requirements

Polish ordinary passport holders need a visa for Saudi Arabia, but Poland is on the eligible list for the Saudi tourist eVisa — applied for entirely online with approval usually within minutes to a couple of days. A Poland (ordinary passport) holder cannot enter Saudi Arabia visa-free for tourism, but Poland is among the 60-plus eligible nationalities for the Saudi tourist eVisa. The application is fully online at the official Visit Saudi portal (visa.visitsaudi.com); no embassy visit is required. The eVisa is a one-year, multiple-entry permit allowing stays of up to 90 days per visit, and the total fee of SAR 535 already bundles a visa fee, service charge, and mandatory health insurance. Most eVisas are approved within minutes to two business days. A visa on arrival at major Saudi international airports is also available to Polish citizens (SAR 480) as a backup, but applying online in advance is recommended to avoid airport delays. Saudi Arabia is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply here. Passports must be valid for at least six months from the planned date of entry.
