Singapore to Saudi Arabia visa requirements

Singapore passport holders need an eVisa to visit Saudi Arabia for tourism. It is applied for online before travel (a visa-on-arrival channel also exists), and is a one-year, multiple-entry visa allowing stays of up to 90 days per visit. Singapore is one of the ~60+ nationalities eligible for Saudi Arabia's tourist eVisa, launched in 2019 and confirmed current as of 2026. Singapore citizens cannot enter Saudi Arabia visa-free; they must hold a visa, but they qualify for the streamlined online eVisa rather than a consular application. The eVisa is issued as a one-year, multiple-entry tourist visa permitting a cumulative stay of up to 90 days, and it is normally approved within minutes to a few days. Eligible travelers may alternatively obtain a visa on arrival at major airports, but applying for the eVisa online in advance is the recommended route because it removes the risk of being turned away at the counter and is processed digitally. The Saudi tourist visa fee is approximately SAR 535 when applied online (SAR 480 on arrival), which includes mandatory medical insurance covering emergency treatment during the stay. The passport must be valid for at least six months from the date of entry and have at least two blank pages. The tourist visa permits general tourism, leisure, family visits, and Umrah (outside the Hajj season) but not paid work. Saudi Arabia is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply.
