Important Changes in the Process

  • Effective as of 6th November 2023, the Saudi Arabian embassy now requires all applicants that are applying for a Saudi Visa in the UK to attend to submit biometric details as a new part of the application process. The biometric details and applications are submitted at the Visa Application centre in London by appointment only.
  • Upon receipt of the documents, Rapid Visas will contact the applicant in order to book the appointment. Rapid Visas will prepare the paperwork and legalise the employment support letters.

Important steps: Our staff member will meet the applicant at the Visa Centre to hand over the prepared paperwork required during submission including the legalised employment support letter. After the appointment our team member will then collect the collection papers issued at the centre so that we can collect the passport and visa the following day, and forward them accordingly. The visa processing takes 2 working days to be issued from the submission date at the appointment. The appointment date is dependent on availability.

What is the difference between a Saudi visitor visa, a Saudi Online visa and a Saudi Tourist visa?

The main difference is the timeframe, number of entries and the visa validity for KSA. The online visa for UK nationals may give a restricted time frame of a few months to a maximum of 1 year, whereas the visitor visa or family visit visa will allow for upto 2 years. However the duration is based on what the MOFA invitation that was issued states.

Saudi Arabian tourist visa is basically for applicants that don’t have an invitation or person to invite them however have premade travels plan, are ok with a visa for a shorter duration versus the family visit, and also are non EU nationals.
