Do I Need a Visa for Saudi Arabia?
Yes. US citizens must have a visa to travel to Saudi Arabia for all permitted trip purposes including business and work, visiting relatives, and religious visits. All visas to Saudi Arabia require a sponsor, and the visa must be obtained prior to arrival. Note that all female travelers must be met by the sponsor upon arrival. It can take several months for the Embassy of Saudi Arabia to process visa requests, so be sure to start the process well in advance of your planned departure. Visa regulations are strictly enforced by the Saudi authorities, so be sure to work with a travel document expert to obtain the proper type of visa for your trip. For example, if you are planning to enter the country by land, make sure your visa is not annotated for entry via air as you will be turned away and not permitted to enter. Additionally, be sure your trip does not go over the permitted length of stay on your visa. Fines for overstaying a visa can run into the thousands of dollars, and violators may be incarcerated.
