Uzbek Citizens Can Once Again Apply for Tourist Visas to Saudi Arabia Online

Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.uz) — Citizens of Uzbekistan can once again apply for tourist visas to Saudi Arabia through the official VisitSaudi online portal.

The Kingdom’s Ministry of Tourism has resumed accepting applications after a temporary suspension caused by technical issues.

From 1 April to 9 June 2025, the issuance of e-visas for citizens of Uzbekistan and several other countries was paused.

The service has now been fully restored and is operating as normal.

The electronic tourist visa is valid for one year, allows for multiple entries, and permits a total stay of up to 90 days in the country.

Holders of this visa are allowed to perform Umrah pilgrimages, but it does not permit participation in Hajj, employment, or long-term residency.
