Expedited Saudi Arabia Visa
Washington DC Embassy

Please take a minute to read about the Electronic Travel Visa (ETV) visa application process before getting started.
 
Citizens of the United States of America may apply for an ETV (Electronic Travel Visa). For a complete list of all eligible nationals: Saudi ETV Eligible Nationals

To apply for an ETV visa you will be asked to complete an online ETV visa application, which will be made available to you as you place your order. After the order is placed we will electronically submit your application on your behalf. The visa application will be reviewed and pending approval will be issued electronically. We will send you a confirmation of the visa via email.
 

IMPORTANT: Your passport must have more than 6 months validity remaining after your travel date in order to apply for a visa.  It must also contain at least one blank visa page for entry & exit stamps.

Please scan a clear and legible color copy of the information pages of your passport: Passport Scan Example.  This must be uploaded, or emailed to us, during the application process. Please do not take a picture of your passport info page- it must be scanned instead.

If your passport has been amended (name changed, validity extended—found in the back pages of your passport) you will also need to scan and upload along with your passport information pages.

A passport photo will need to be uploaded, or emailed to us, as a part of the application process. You may either:

(1) Scan a recent 2x2 passport photograph. Please don't take a picture of your passport photo - the passport photo must be scanned.
  OR
(2) Take a digital photo using a camera. You must attach the original file size (100KB or larger)- thumbnail size is not accepted. Please make sure the picture is taken against a light/white background.

IMPORTANT:
All photos must meet these requirements:

• The photo must have been taken within the last six months.
• Glasses cannot be worn.
• Closed mouth smile.
• Lighting must be even – no shadows.
