Quick answer: If you live in the UAE on a valid residence visa, you can usually apply online for a Saudi tourist eVisa before you travel. A tourist eVisa normally allows Umrah outside the Hajj season, booked through the official Nusuk app. Your spouse and children can usually apply with you. Saudi authorities make the final decision.

Who can apply from the UAE?

  • UAE residents with a valid residence visa (Saudi rules usually ask for at least 3 months remaining).
  • Family members (spouse and children) who live with you in the UAE, usually applying alongside the main resident.
  • Emirati citizens do not need a visa for Saudi Arabia.

Eligibility rules can change without notice. Send us your passport and residence visa on WhatsApp and we will check before you pay.

Documents you need

  • Passport valid for at least 6 months
  • UAE residence visa copy (or digital residency proof) and Emirates ID
  • Recent photo with a white background
  • For family members: proof of relationship, such as a marriage or birth certificate
  • Hotel booking and travel dates

Can I perform Umrah on a Saudi tourist eVisa?

Yes, in normal cases. Tourist eVisa holders can perform Umrah outside the Hajj period. You book your Umrah permit and Rawdah visit through the official Nusuk app after your visa is approved. Hajj itself is not allowed on a tourist eVisa.

How the process works

  1. Send your documents on WhatsApp for a free eligibility check.
  2. We prepare and submit the eVisa application for you and your family.
  3. Receive your eVisa by email once Saudi authorities approve it.
  4. Book Umrah in Nusuk and travel by flight or by road.
